My Santa Monica Hog 1x, we have growth!

[Irsug1]

So I bought the 1x on the last GB. It ran for about a month and I accidentally left the light on 24/7 and had to start over.
Its been going about 2 months and suddenly within the last couple of weeks it has really taken off!

So what have you noticed different in the tank , any regiments change pros/cons. I also have the hog1x and it's been on the new setup for 3 weeks now with the lights on for 14hr a day and I'm starting to see some growth, now that I have 8 fish in the tank and feeding heavy and that should get it going.

No noticeable change with nitrates, but my phosphates historically have been between .05 and .11. They are now at .03 which is the lowest its ever been. I have not replaced my GFO yet and am waiting to see if/how high it would get..

10 days of growth!
