Aqua One 850 Lighting

[Aaron&Melanie]

Currently have an Aqua One 850, with 3 T8 tubes.

2x 25w
1x 20w

Just wondering what this lighting would be considered? Would it be adequate for Glosso?

Looking for a dense carpet plant that will do well.

I dose easycarb, but no C02.

Hi,
plenty of light there especially if you have reflectors and no obstruction via hardscape/overshadowing etc. Some people extend their photoperiod with glosso to around 10hrs i think... but dont quote me on that.
C02 is your limiting factor here especially with carpet plants as they unfortunately need the most access to c02. Id look at dosing double the concentration recomendation of easy carb and you should have success with excellent flow and distribution.
Cheerio,
Ady.
