Hi bro,

I am thinking of revamping my refugium into a planted marine tank but always heard stories of algae going asexual. Does turning on the light 24x7 prevents it from going asexual?

In any case, what causes the algae to go asexual?

Also, anyone can recommend a good LED lamp for such planted refugium?

Any view is welcomed. Thank you all.

Regards,
Jeff
