You're on spot! I like, even if you seem abit uncomfort when bringing it up, that you can grow like dwarf baby tears with low light by adding sufficent co2 and fertz! This need to be talked about and spreaded out!
too much light will cause huge issues- slower growth from shade loving plants. Even with CO2 too much light can slow down growth rate with high chlorophyll plants, and of course can greatly increase algae growth. Best is to be conservative with light output.
Hi I have 2 light units at 25 watts but have only one on at the moment. Should I turn the other one on or would it be too much? My tank is heavily planted and has Co2 injection. Thanks.
The last few sentences are the most important ones - pretty much any light can grow plants (even shop lights). It's what suites your taste, and budget that matters.
The market is geared up towards smaller tanks, what about a 6ft (182 cm x 60 x 60)? Anubias nana, flame moss, trident java ferns, water wisteria, crypts, ozelots and monte carlo.
Any brands of lighting do u recommend? ADA is way of budget. Twinstar S series in list and i wish to do more research on other lighting before i purchase one.
Hi George- Im planning to change my lighting setup for my 50 gallon tank. I want to do an iwagumi set up with monte carlo as my carpet plant. And im planning to buy 2 x flexiled 36W with 65k-7K Kelvin, but Im torn with flexled to zetlight zp2500. Any thoughts?
What about the light Spectrum? I agree that Par, the amount of light is important, however is the type of light you are giving your plants not also just as important or maybe even more important? Ie reds and blues as appose to greens and yellows?
Time stamp 9:05 the 33 Watts light you are talking about, is that a Twinstar 600E?

I have a 96L tank (60x40x40). How many Watt needed is enough for my tank in general (putting aside what plants I use).
For a planted tank with 150x60x60 cm can I use 2 twinstar 600sp? Would be enough?

25 watt LED x 2 is that too much?

Hi George
i have 29 gallons planted tank and i have kept 20wt flood light 6000k
is that less or enough?
Does anyone have answer please?
@@shoabhalari430 20 watt incandescent is not enough; 20 watt LED is enough; at least 5000K
how many hours you have to keep the light on?
As most other things in the hobby. It depends.
Metal Halide still the elephant in the room. Cheap, efficient, easy to repair.
Great video
