Re: Duration questions

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try 7 hours and monitor the plants. My nitrates are around 20 ppm, so that should be fine.

Duration questions

How long should I leave my lights on for a planted tank with Anubias and Java Fern? I've heard conflicting advice, some say 6 hours, others say 10. My tank is a 20-gallon with a Nicrew light, and I'm dosing Easy Green once a week.

Re: Best flow for soft corals

My tank's a year old, and the softies took a while to settle. Patience is key. Also, what's your lighting schedule? Too much light can stress them too.

Re: Best flow for soft corals

I'd cut the flow way back. My Zoas were pissed until I dropped the flow to like 15%. Now they're spreading like crazy. Also, what salt mix are you using? Some brands can be sketchy for softies.
