I would run carbon, it prevents water from becoming yellow, an excess of DOC. That could also be causing a bacterial bloom. Carbon is one of those...
I will try it lower, see what happens. Thanks
Question #1: Adding new bulbs should help, whether they be new Pc bulbs or the new fixture. It's not the frequency of the light but the wavelength...
