    I understand, but Aquael Leddy Smart don't have regulation of intensity. ;) I could reduce the time of lighting aquarium, but I don't know if it help. :)

    I use one Aquael Leddy Smart without regulation so I can't change the power of light. ;) I could only put on next one lamp, but I don't want the plants to grow too quickly. :cool:

    It's the easiest aquarium I've ever had. Plants take over the interior of the tank. Anubias and moss are in excellent condition. Algae in the tank practically do not occur. The condition of plants does not require more work from me. I can only admire the arrangements and relax during the...
