Aloha kakou!
I live in Honolulu and am working on setting up my first opae ula tank.
Just found out that the 7w LED light I ordered for my tank was delayed for a month.
I want to start prepping my tank sooner than that, but the only other light I have is a 3.5W desk lamp and is much shorter than the 7W light I custom-ordered for my tank.
Do you think I could cycle the tank for two weeks with the short 3.5W and then once my final light arrives switch them out? Would this affect how/where the algae forms? I would wait at least two weeks once the 7W arrives before adding opae.
Mahalo for all the information on this forum! It’s an amazing community and I can’t wait to learn more.
