Calurpa rarely has enough "food" to sustain it in a new tank so that's probably what you're experiencing. Concerning your light cycle, I find it detrimental to light a fuge 24/7 because macro algaes need night and day cycles in order to consume nutrients. The use of CO2 during the day and the use of O2 during the night is a necessary cycle. Also, the overall health and growth of the macro will be inhibited. That being said, I would run my fuge lights on a reverse cycle rather than 24/7. |
