yesterday and the day before I was trying to use the glass diffuser... this morning I swapped it out for my other air stone. so today's also the first day that CO2 has been successfully coming out.
I turn the air stone off when I get up, and the lights come on a bit later so the current plan is:
7:00ish - air stone off
8:00 - lights on
4:00 - lights off
sometime in the evening - air stone back on?
it's 3:30 now and the drop checker has turned a mostly green blue-green.
maybe I don't want to worry about making it more efficient?
Sounds like a good schedule. Maybe you could have the lights come on at 9 and off at 5. This would maybe allow more co2 to build up before lights on and maybe by the period end you might have a green drop checker. If you have liquid carbon you could add this when you turn the air stone off. This would give the plants some form of carbon as the injected levels build up and reduce algae at the same time.
Keep us posted on growth.
