Excellent link. That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm leaning towards the notion that a) I'm not getting enough blue light. and b) my food may have higher amounts of phos. than I would like. A conch...hmmm never thought of one of them. Maybe I'll get one if the addition of more blue light doesn't do the trick and a change in diet as well. Thanks fellas.
