Just went to the lfs, i was asking them about coraline algae. He was telling me about their lighting schedule. They had a 75 G tank that was fulled with so much coraline algae and algae that you could barely see through the tank. Well anyways, the fish dude was telling me about the lighting schedule. he told me to keep on the blue lights for 4-7 then at 6-9 the white lights come on and the blue ones shut off. There is one hour where both lights are on. He told me to do this everyday for 8-12 hours a day...did anyone ever hear of this to promote algae growth with a simulated lighting system. Talked to the guy for about 40 mins felt bad so bought a star fish. its dark red with black dots..any one have any clue how to care for it or waht kinda star it is? thanks in advance!!
