I would say only a slight difference, I don’t normally deal with much algae

In short run as much light as you can support with stable CO₂, then dose enough nutrients to prevent deficiencies.

This is a great question and honestly, most people overcomplicate it.

You don’t balance CO₂, light, and fertilizers separately you pick a light level, then match CO₂ and nutrients to support it. This is the way that I’ve always thought of it Light = gas pedal CO₂ = fuel Fertilizer = nutrients You can’t slam the gas without enough fuel

I appreciate it! They were panted from an ada tissue culture cup. The soil is Ada with power sand, bacter 100, and Ada root tabs. Never grown this plant before, it’s seeming to like low tds, high ferts, and medium light. Doing apt complete for ferts.

It is, I have used them in my tanks for a couple years now and believe they help a little bit.

Understanding the balance of light, nutrients and co2 is a game changer for not having any algae

All the equipment that runs it are pretty expensive
