Sounds like you keep a clean tight ship then. The upper 70s + is ringing the dinner bell for pathogens. I'm running at 74 and getting good results. I'd like it around 67 for more DO. That's what fall and winter are for. Can't sacrafice extra power for a chiller.how come I never ever use h2o2 and I never get any slime or problems, I run the house and garden aqua flakes and keep my res at 70-72, my roots are bright white all the way through, I don't even have to cool the res to get it
no bennies either
I must object to that sir. I thought the same thing, that i could get away with just using aquashield or pondzyme, to utter dissapointment. Enzymes make the problem worst. I failed with my uc 3 fucking times...smh till i started using heisenburgs tea with amazing rusults. My Uc is rocking right now into wk 3 with some monsters.Just get some aquashield and pondzyme and call it a day. No need to mess with any messy teas.
Thats a good temp if your running bennies. In heisenbugs thread somewhere in there he talks about the temp range that the bennies are most active(70º-75º). I keep my chiller set at 74º with a 1º variance to keep the temps at 73º. Shits rocking right nowSounds like you keep a clean tight ship then.
