and 1 in the 24ga Nano under a 150W 20K
MH which is doing very well.
My daughter has a 65ga with CF lighting that I am not going to subject the clams to unless I can figure out a way to vent the heat for a
MH supplemental light.
Like I mentioned before, a lot of reefers do not realize the importance of
phytoplankton in the reef. It is literally the base of the food chain for a reef and a lot of filter feeders (clams, feathers, coral, naupali, etc) feed on
phytoplankton exclusively.
The down side is that (live)
phytoplankton is expensive unless you culture and grow it yourself which is easy and comparably inexpensive. Check out
Melevsreef.com - Phytoplankton for the straight scoop if you are interested.
Happy reefing!!!
