 Question for Nativeman! Hey Nativeman, I tried searching for the thread that had this info on it but, couldn't find it! What I need to know is how good my t5 bulbs are! I have 3 blue actinics at 460nm and 3 10k daylights, each at 39w. I have researched both here, online and my water quality out the wazoo for an answer to where my excess algae is coming from but, this is the last factor, that I can think of anyways! Is it possible for algae growth to increase with these bulbs? I recently upgraded to these from pc's, 1 blue actinic 65w and 1 10k daylight 65w.... Thanks for any help you or anyone can give me! Oh, just for formalities, here's my water params: ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5 ph 8.4 dkh 10 alk 6 phosphate 0 silica ?(only thing i can not test for yet) temp 74-76F

| Re: Question for Nativeman! I am wondering if the 10ks need to be 12ks, I'd like to try it but wanted to run that idea across you all first!
