Hi,
Been a while since my last posts. But always kept reading other posts.
Now i have a question about my lighting above a 100x50x50 cm plantend tank (nature scape again)
I use the following system: 2x T5 39W + 1x HQI 150W
I am dosing ferts with the EL method. But still the plants aren't reacting 100% and the algea keeps getting back. I need better growth of the plants and tips are welcome
Waterquality:
PH 6.5
KH 5
no3 20 mg/l
po4 2.0 mg/l
Adding CO2
So it should be fine. Or not?
Other option for the difficalt plants growth would be the lighting ( i think).
what would be a good lighting period/schedule for this 100x50x50 cm nature tank using: 2x T5 39W + 1x HQI 150W. Now using:
t5 2x39w: 11:00 - 22:00
HQI 150W: 15:00 - 18:00
Do i need more or less light during the day? tips or suggestions are welcome
