  1. LED's and Acro Growth

    So it's been 2 months since I put a red tabling acro and a unknown blue/white acro in my DIY LED 7.5g cube. I haven't been dosing anything, just water changes at the moment, so the growth rates might have been better with better water quality. Here are the results I've had so far.

    Questions - Need some input
  3. Some lighting/technical questions
