![]() | C02 Question and Temp Lighting Change |
tetratech![]() ![]() Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003 ![]() ![]() | Just when things were going so well, one ballast went on my dual-bulb fixture. My question is, I'm probably going to be down to just 96watts on my 76g for 4 or 5 days. During this time should I stop co2 and ferts, lesson co2 and ferts or do nothing. My gut tells me to stop ferts and lesson co2, but I'd like some other opinions. Thanks for your comments. My Scapes |

The Co2 will allow the plants to maximise the use of the reduced light. Even at 1.5 wpg the Co2 will help increase photosynthesis. You're right, less light = less uptake. You can skip a dose of ferts. A few days won't hurt anything, until you get the light back to normal. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability. |
