Hello,

When I carry my daily water changes to reduce algae, is it recommended to siphon the HCC carpet or just make the water change plain and simple?

Also when would be the best time to do a water change, before lights on on after lights off?

Thanks
 
If you can siphon the carpet without destroying the bed or uprooting then do so.
Water changes are best started just prior to lights on.

Cheers,
 
Why is that, so the plants get fresh water for the beginning of their photosynthesis period?
