Are you in the Dark about Daphnia

There’s a little organism called Daphnia that eats algae … it lives at the bottom of water bodies and only comes up at night. But it’s a tricky thing …because it avoids daylight predators, it won’t come up if there is any light shining on the water. It also avoids a full moon, but we can’t nor want to do anything about that.

But … if you live near a water body, you can help reduce algae bloom by keeping light from shining on the water. Of course, APC supports Dark Skies and avoiding outdoor lighting as much as possible. If you must light at night, do make sure any lights you use don’t illuminate off your own property. It’s the law!
