Hi all, hope everyone's enjoying the warm weather!
I'm considering upgrading my led on my nano from an aqua one 30 clip on led, to the Chihiros c2.
I'm currently running the aqua one led for 6hrs (simple on/off timer), but the Chihiros allows you to ramp up, down, and adjust brightness incrementally.
I don't have a PAR metre unfortunately, just wondering if anyone had suggestions for making the switch and finding the ideal light intensity without encouraging algae?
My assumption is to start low, say 20% or equivalent, and slowly ramp this up, I'm guessing until algae starts to appear, then back it down a little? Over the course of days and weeks?
I inject co2, but at a very slow rate of 1 bubble per 5 seconds, as I'm trying to keep things as stable as possible.
