Nice BN growth for skimmerless setup with led. Your manual dosing regime is rewarding u.

How long is this setup? The light seem a little insufficient, BN colour seems brown (could be photo colour)..

Setup about 3 months.. My main target is to keep them growing, no complaints of color since it's a cheaper setup.

What's more to ask for a cheaper setup. Low electricty and low equipment cost.

And no PH check and other test kit..

Just water change when i have the time.

One important point, feed them well.. and they grow.

Good Stuff. You are definitely achieving ur target of making them grow!

Though no test kits are a little risky.. But regular w/c should do the trick.

*thumbs up*

Btw u mentioned about feeding them well, what do you feed the SPS with?
