Going low but which light?

[logi-cat]

Gonna go low tech due to work commitment. Currently have a P@H cube running with an eheim 2213 classic and hydor eth heater. What light would you recommend? Would like to keep low tech plants

Any 11w power compact should do the trick? Dennerle, fluval, Arcadia, aquael, superfish are a few of the brands that sell them.

i currently have an arcpod with a 11w light, would 11w be too much?

i run an 11w on my nano and think its spot on logi.

I run 3x8w over a 12ltr. Altho I do have liquid co2. The WPG rule dosnt work on nanos. 11w should be good for low tech. I'm thinking about getting a flora/ebi next.

and what about dosing? EI ok for low tech? how much do you dose a week?

 

[Iain Sutherland]

minimal ferts as have taiwan bees, mix my water up at the beginning of the week adding about 15% ei for a week then gh boost to 150 TDS, seems to work mate.
