cheato growth pics....

It's taken over 2 1/2 months to get to that size? If I let mine grow out of control like that it would grow to that size probably in 2 1/2 weeks. I've found the bigger it gets the growth slows down. So I keep mine in check pruning every week keeping it down to about half the size of your original pic. The idea is to export it not keep it around.
 
Cheato I love it mine grows like crazy! I often wonder if this is a good thing. Does this mean that I have a large amount of nutrients/nitrates that are avaliable to the cheato? Is this much growth a good thing? I am sure it is great for hosting pods.
 
It is working great. I am very pleased. Much more growth than I was getting with the small screw in type that Melev 1st posted about.

Home Depot actually has several of these LOA fixtures of varying wattage. There are some with more than 65w and some with less. All are 6.5K bulbs.

I have mine on a 20 long, which is pretty close to 36" I think.
Click to expand...

20L = 30x12x12...
 
Does it light it pretty well (the whole length)-- I have some height to work with (my stand is tall) so I can always elevate it some... my fuge is going to be a 45 gallon tall 36Lx12Wx18T-- it will be drilled and gravity draining to my main sump-- just waiting for my hole saw to arrive from Hong Kong so I can drill it...have a week or two till I'm ready...

Thanks for the responses..
