btw crabs are the root of all evil next to socks....

Some of my macro goes sexual if I don't run the light all the time, so I can't really stop the lighting.

its been documented that Chaeto does not grow any faster with a break in photo period.

also, if you keep any kind of Caulerpa, you run the risk of it going sexual which can deplete the oxygen in your tank very fast and wipe out your livestock.
