Hello good people, please bear with me or redirect as I am sure this or similar may already be asked....
I am to reshape my 125 litre community tank to a planted scape, with a few fish. I'll be asking some substrate questions in the relevant area, but for now....
It is a Jewel Rio 125 tank with 2 x 28W T5 highlite Day lamps, with reflectors.
I know it'll depend on specific plants chosen, but is my lighting adequate...or woeful?
I will likely progress to CO2 of some description...and will be looking to the standard java ferns, and is and some kind of forgiving ground cover for starters (advice and suggestions welcome)!
I guess, what with substrate etc I'm hovering around 2W per gallon for lighting.? Is that good enough?
Many thanks.
