FLs r too dim... or issit due to it being covered by nuisance algae? e.g cyano Quote My Personal Blog My Wedding Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwilly Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 I supplement my tank with actinic blue. I find that they open under it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member JustinK Posted May 30, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 30, 2004 Any ugly green hairy algae around it? Slime? Mine got swamped by GHA and didn't open for awhile until i got rid of those ugly things. Try shifting it to a place where flow rate is higher, they prefer higher water flowrates... and maybe shift it higher towards the lights. GSP are quite hardy, shouldn't die so easily...
