Ok Guys,
So I took your advice and upgrated my 39 Gallon/ 2foot wide tank with an LED setup. This replaced the stock standard hood and so far it looks great.
Both the blue and white leds have a dimmer dial and on the lowest setting it is already WAY brighter than its predecessors.
A couple of questions if I may:
a) Will the increase of light increase hair algae growth? Or will the fact that is replacing a half red/ half white bulb that my LFS said I should use way back in the middle of last year (before I knew much about lighting) mean hair algae growth with decrease. I am about to start using RO water aswell.
b) I've attached a photo of what the corals look like with just the Blue light (and not even at full power) Parts of the coral are neon fluro! is this normal? the tips of my frogspawn/ heads of my green star polyph and mushroom coral are glowing bright green.
I am keeping the output low for a week or two so that the coral can adjust.
Is there anything else I should be doing to help them adjust?
Cheers once again,
