My Jebo came with three tubes.

1 x 20w 100k T8 (or is that T9?)
1 x 25w 100k

and then another which is marked "red" and gives a very light purple hue, almost like the usual ultraviolet light.

What am I suppose to use this for? Currently I leave it on at all times, and then leave it on at night, but I'm sure that's now that it's meant for.

What are the different lights you get, and what are they for?

Ha ha, I didn't say it is a UV light, just looks much like one but not as darkly purple.

It simply says "Red".

So the question is, do I leave it on all the time?

I thought UV light kills Algae?

Isn't that why they put them in ponds?
