yes, 150W onto 40 L of water looks too much. But the light is shine more to the right side of the tub and not at the center. I have also started using a cover to mask off some light. The 150W MH bulb (Osram delux white) is a <4000K lum. I hv a 10,000K lum but felt its really too bright and the goldfish didnt really like it.
I do have a 3ft tub set aside in my store room and will intend to use it when the goldfish grow bigger. As for test kits, im using Aquarium Pharmaceticals brand. Not as accurate as tetra but i think still quite alright. I dont doubt the test kit results as the "color" of the nitrite gets darker each day and the test kits are new. Happy Budda, did u ever test yr green water for nitrite say 3-4 days later after a water change? I believe small amt of BB still exist in green water in a suspended state and that explains the presence of nitrite? |
