Hello,
I am planning to start a new tank 100 x 50 x 50 cm .
My substrate will be tropica planted growth with fine sand-gravel and i will inject co2 through inline diffuser from a 2kg bottle with a double regulator and an integrated solenoid. My filter would be Eheim professional 4+ 600.
I have 2 choices of lightning.
First , is 2 x 39 T5 HO, which equals to about 1,2w/g and about 19 loumens/liter (with arcadia bulbs) which seems low.
And second is a 4x39 T5 HO system with a combination of jbl and arcadia bulbs , with about 2,3-2,4w/g and 40lumens/liter
I am going to grow medium to advanced plants (such us hemianthus and rotala mancrada).
For me my best choice is the second but i would i like to have some feedback from you.
Finally, i would like to tell me what my photoperiod should be for the first month? Are 5 hours per day enough ?
Thank you very much!
