I have a newly set up fuge, 20 gal. rubbermaid with 4" livesand, 4 little pieces of LR, and about 1/4 lb. Grape caulerpa in the fuge. I have two lights, one 20 watt actinic that is on 24/7, and one 150 watt home depot indoor plant light, on 12 hrs. a day. The last 2 days I have come home, and a little more of the caulerpa has turned white. I trim it off, but why is this happening?

My tests are good, with the exception nitrates, consistantly 40 ppm. Thats the reason for the fuge.

What about switching the actinic wit a 20 watt general electric cool white? Also what do you think about using the 150 watt indoor house plant?
