sorry to ask this again, but im struggling to get the right lighting for the larvae. they are constantly attached to the walls, unless i add a good amt of green water.
im not sure if its bec of my lighting is too strong or what. i know others do not use green water at all. with less light im concerned they can not see the rotifers, but at same time i think they are not eating when there heads are facing the wall.
right now i have a 7wt pc over the tank. ive tried a 25 wt clamp light over about 2 feet. it just seems too dark.
i tried 48 hrs of light for the first couple days, but that did not seem to deter my sign. loss in the first 2 days. so i keep them at a day/dark cycles from the start with the next batch.
can people post your larvae tank size and lighting used. also distance away from water surface.
THANK YOU in advance.
