it's far from misinformation...........i've tried many bulbs and combinations. this isn't for a planted tank, i'm sorry you don't understand that part. This thread was created for reef users with sumps/fuges that are using small energy efficient bulbs to get good growth. I've given this same info to other people locally and they have seen a change for the better as well. I can't argue with you on what it takes to grow algae in a planted tank......why? cause i don't own one and i'm not posting on a planted tank forum. I'm not even sure why you even posted here cause it was quite obvious in my original post this topic wasn't for a planted tank with high output lighting systems. If it would make you happy i would change the topic of the post saying "How to grow chaeto economically in a reef tank with a fuge and small PC bulb", but I can't cause the thread is past the age of being edited. I was trying to be helpful and appologize if in some way that aggravated you.
Merry Xmas!
