SRC Member strat Posted January 26, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2005 I need some opinion of this. I am currently running a refugium with reversed photoperoid. I am thinking of increasing to full 24hrs. Will this cause additional decreased of PO4 levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member huanjie Posted January 26, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2005 Logically speaking it should be...., the algae in your refugium will grow faster, hence use more PO4... tieo bo ?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member diabolus Posted January 26, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2005 sam, if your algae is not turning assexual,why dun you continue with the reverse photoperiod? going 24/7, you will find it a real hassle pruning your algae every week.

weileong Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 One of the purpose of keep macro is for nutrient export and fast growing macro are good. By pruning them weekly you achieved what you want. Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member diabolus Posted January 27, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted January 27, 2005 yes weileong, i understand that when the algae are growing fast(pruning once a week) it exports nutrients from your tank at a faster rate too. but the hassle.... anyway, i gave up the algae in my old fuge because of dat....hehehe...lazy lah.
