My imagination, I'm sure

the chaeto in my 29 dropped the nitrates and phos in like a week. no3 before was 20-40ppm, now is 0-5ppm

the chaeto in the 125 is not working as fast. i am going to do a massive water change (80g) when the new impeller for the skimmer gets here. sort of reset it and see if the chaeto can keep it down. also possible i need to put the light on a timer too strong. running 24/7 turns the cheato white on tops side, i have been flipping it everyday

on the 29, im just using those submersible led bars, the ones that look like heaters. they are like 10 bucks on ebay. i have 3 in there. i set them all to red/pink

on the 125 im using this monster which i think now is probably too much'
