Hey guys, I need help with lighting my 200L tank, 100cm wide, 45 cm deep, 50cm high, fully planted with c02, hitting the required green in the drop checker.
Currently, I am using Fluval 3.0 46W lighting and have it set to the default "pro" schedule" you can see how long it is on for, what colours are on. I have attached the image below.
Can someone please suggest any changes? or are these setting ok? Be specific if possible, what time on, what time off. Intensity? etc.
in regards to the C02, when should that come on and off?
I've also attached an image of the tank, its been on for about 5 days now. The left side is pending a tree-style fixture which will have more stem plants behind it, so please ignore the left bareness for now. But you get the idea.
Here's a video I uploaded to YouTube giving my non-aquarist friend a little tour, so pardon the dumbing down of information for his sake.
Plant species wise, I have the following:
Thanks.
