Hi all,
Novice coming into this hobby, currently have a fluval 125 tank. Currently empty and hope to get into aquascaping. Spent a lot of time reading and trying to learn.
I came across the term high light and low light. I have seen par be mentioned. When shopping for a light my first challenge was size. The tank is 80cm and most premium brands are either side of this number being 60cm or 90cm in length.
I have looked at the Oase led premium 80 light. Plan was to lay it on top as it is 83cm. There is no mention of par levels I can find or spectrum. It’s showing as 58 watts which seems considerably higher than a basic led strip light. Lumens showing 2370. Is there a way for to decipher if this light would be classed as high lighting?
I get the bit about co2 potentially determining categories of plants but there is mention of needing a strong or high lighting in some.
just looking for some tips to deciphering available information in particular the oase 80 premium led. Seems little reviews on the light but a million on their filters so assume it would be a good night.
just help would be appreciated when looking for lights when things like par etc are not mentioned and if there is anything else to look out for.
