    Hi guys

    Is 4x39W T5 HO too much to handle for a 3ft by 1.5ft by 1.5ft tank?

    I don't think so. But if you are worried, you could stagger the lighting period for each tube.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

    Hi Eddy

    How long do you keep your lights on? Did you up your fert dosing?
    I fear for algae bloom cause my plants are bubbling like crazy...just like soda water...even the algae are bubbling

    Hmm, you could use 2 timer then.
