Hi Everyone
Just setting up my first planted tank... Eventually!
My set up is 200l tank, will be dosing EI and Co2 will be via external reactor and FE. Substrate is ADA Amazonia so will be doing every other day W/C for around 5 weeks, (not sure if this plays any part in lighting)
My lighting is 2x T8 30w and 2x T5 21w.
My question is what would be the best lighting period for growing in? I gather it would be best to use just the 2 T8's to begin with, but for how many days/weeks do I use the T8's before introducing the T5's?
Any advice on how many hours I should use these also would be very much appreciated,
Many Thanks Toad
