Too much light for moss?
Mosses do better with more lights and other optimal conditions.
But they survive in low light in some cases.
Check this
This is Christmas moss in our tank which survive in very low light too. But you will never see this in such a beauty form like on the photo. We're using here the powerful ATI light with 4 T5 tubes to give the max power to the stems. But moss also looks beautiful in this condition. EI ferts, CO2, Easy Carbo, weekly 40% water change with full RO.
Well I always thought I'd use low light on my moss but if all conditions are optimal I may consider using a bit more. The photo you posted is really nice, and I see what you mean about the nice form. This is what I want to achive.
The sukuras I've heard are bullet proof that's why I wanna try a few first.
I've learnt a fare bit from this little chat cheers viktor so I have some new things to try.
