Currently my photoperiod is 7h of 2x24w T5HO, from 12:00 to 19:00. Light is raised about 40cm from water surface and aquarium is 60x60x45cm (length, depth, height). CO2 starts at 10:00, goes off at 18:45.
The room is quite bright - the windows are facing the south. Aquarium gets few hours of kinda "direct" sunlight (balcony glass + window + day curtains + 1,5 m of distance from window, also sunlight shines on aquarium in afternoon).
What I notice at 8:00 in the morning is that all plants are leaning towards the windows. When aquarium lights start up, plants slowly lean back to T5s. Does this mean that plants are starting their photoperiod in the morning? Should I change my light and CO2 schedule?
