Also need to factor into the equation water clarity and also how far the lighting is from the surface of the water.

I have been having trouble with water clarity but I am running a 8x54 ATI PM

10am - 10pm: 1x Fiji Purple / 1x ATI B+
2pm - 9pm: 4x ATI B+, 1x Gman 6000k, 1x ATI ABspecial

Noticing growth but having issues with water clarity.
