To be honest, I have no idea.
My dat is stalbe and eating well, so I havent bother to check my params.
Flame on..

Why would you be flamed,your fish are doing fine and thats what matters most.I rarely check my params but I stick to my water change routine which is fifty percent weekly and I have not added aquarium salt since I ran out a few months ago and never considered uing sea salt since these are pretty much jungle fish.I rarely use the tank lights as there is enough surrounding light in the basement for me to see them.I have three widebar imposter indos but one has more bars on one side of the body than the other,and one NGT.

My big guys(14-17inch) dont care how bright the lights are but on another tank(5.5-13inch guys) they dont really care for it considering i have a dimmer light on it. Then with another tank of mine that i keep right next to a window the dats in that tank(3-4inch) aren't bothered by the light at all. All dats are IT's and ST's.
