All,
About a week ago I set up a new JBJ Nano Cube that I purchased. The lighting on it is half actinic, half 10,000k(24 watts). I currently have DIY CO 2 on it with two 2 liter bottles and the Vortex Reactor. It is currently planted with Rotala indica, Rotala indica-green, Rotala macrondra green, micro tenellus, Stargrass and Ludwigia arcuata. The plants are growing fine and pearling. However I am beginning to have an algae problem. I havent started dosing with any ferts yet, and there aren't any fish in the tank right now. I am assuming that the actinic light is causing the bloom. So I am considering changing to an all 10,000 k or 6700k bulb. Any recommendations?
