novafishy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Nice! how'd u get it to grow like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 ive also got green algae growing on my lava rocks, it actually looks pretty good. novafishy- just leave your lights on for longer than the recommended 12hrs per day, and u will hav heaps of green algae all over your rocks. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 what kinda lights tho? cos i seem to get a LOT more beard/hair algae than the regular green algae that i really like. i absolutely hate that hair algae. really really annoying. what is the cause of the hair/beard?

slinky Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 what kinda lights tho? ← i just have that purple/pink light, im not sure wat brand but. and also, the downside is there will be some algae on the sand/gravel also. which is real bummer cause its hard to clean the algae of sand. so theres downsides to encouraging all the algae to grow.

cirulis Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 yeah just 1 standard pinky purple NEC globe from bunnings....i only have it on 10hours a day though?? about the beard algae...i guess its just luck as to which algae out competes the other. you could have a nice black furry rock with black algae cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
