I haven't taken pics yet simply because it kills me to see it like this. But, in the name of science, i will do so.
I'm using a mixture of ATI bulbs (blue plus, actinic white, blue...blue, bah; lots of blue) but the one that really kicked the algae in overdrive is a GE 6500. I proclaim them the Spawn of the Almighty Unholy One! I swear, within one week of turning that puppy on I got my but handed to me on a paper plate.
Initially, I had some with my MH's but nothing like I have now.
I dosed Vodka for a bit with stinky and faded coral results so I stopped and began searching for alternative methods. Then I found your post (praise Alah) and saw the light. I must admit, I've shortened the dosing time. I dosed 2 days after the first and dosed again 24hours later. No ill effects to report on this, but I don't plan on dosing again for 3 days. I was hoping to see results sooner and fell into the "a little more will only help" catagory.
So, the long and short of it is: I will get pics; 6500=EVIL; pruning HA like a mad dog.
