Hi all,
I'm a newbie trying to set up my first planted tank...
I have a 120x40wx50h tank with 4x T5 24w - switchable to either two or all tubes on/off.
Even just two of the tubes seems blooming bright to me - but I've no experience to draw on..
I've read that it is a good idea not to "blast" the new plants with light, I can't raise/lower the light unit
(it sits on legs either side of the tank)...
Would it be a good idea to get something fast growing like Riccia and let it float to "mute" the lights for all my
new (soon to be delivered!! Yay!) plants?
Hoping to have Hemianthus carpet, Micranthemum Umbrosum mid tank, moss and anubia on mopani wood.
