Here it is...
my 50 gallon had a strip light with a 32 watt (10,000k) t-8 bulb and was finally starting to grow some purple all over the tank....(not too fast though).
someone suggested tech A and B so i decided to add 2 more strip lights with 3 T-12,s(1 actinic and 2 65Ks) instead of 1 32 watt bulb....and i've been adding tech A and B 2 to 3 times a week and my purple has ceased to grow...
I figured with supplements and over 80 more watts of light i would have to scrape purple like crazy...but im not.
i was doing better with just one 32 watt bulb.....
Is there a technique or procedure to grow purple.....
any help is appreciated......
