So how long do you run your C02 for ? Should I only run mine like 4-5 hrs throughout the day? Yea man IDK why the moss went up and died and so did a few plants, the temperature has been at 80 the whole time so no temp shock. And just bump my BPS down to 1 BPS, And I have an airstone that runs 24/7 so that should help with displacement
I run the CO2 from 1:30-9:30 PM. They come on about 2 hours before the lights go on and go off at least an hour or two before lights out. Depending on the bps and diffusion method, it may take a while for the CO2 to build up to proper levels. If you run it on the same schedule as the lights, IMO you would have a CO2 debt at the beginning of the light cycle and CO2 excess at the end (an air stone run overnight should resolve the latter).
The air stone running 24/7 should be driving out some of the CO2 (which is counter productive during the day). If CO2 was the culprit, it must have been quite a bit going into the tank.
I am not familiar with the output, PAR wise, for the 10W halogen bulbs.
