Ok heres my query, when I go to look at lighting, some of the luminares etc may have 4 x 39w for a 36" tank. I currently have a luminare that holds 2 x 39w with one tube removed and even that is causing melt in some of my plants (I think). It is Co2 injected via inline atomizer and I recently changed filter to a jbl cristalprofi 1501e and flow is great now. I even made my own spraybar for it. Even my monte carlo is starting to melt. I'm dosing EI and Co2 is good and I'm assuming flow is good as it is really strong and drop checkers are light green at lights on. How do people use any higher light when my one tube is too strong? I can't figure out a way of raising it as it is. What am I doing wrong, is it the light? Or is it still distribution? I want to get 2 x TMC Grobeam 1500 Ultima with dimmer but can't really afford them at present. Any Thoughts?
