So did a lot of research looked at a lot of U Tube videos and decided to try a XXL aquamaxx reactor with Led lights draped around the two columns being my tank is a 265gl plus a 90gal sump , light mode was 12hrs on a reverse cycle and when that didn't work increased to 16hrs slow water flow ,fast water flow and all i got was dying mush chateo, so its back to the drawing board, 30gal refugim plastic tank 150 watt led UFO light ball of chateo 20lbs of miracle mud and a lot of pods , wish me luck ill check back when and if i get some results

what was your nitrate,phosphate levels before hooking up the reactor? without nitrate present -you wont grow much..
