How do get plants to pearl? Is it purely a question of light intensity/wavelength? This seems to be the biggest factor from I can deduce, as in the El-Natural tank we have on a windowsill in full sunlight has most of the plants pearling, but in my 160l planted tank with 2x25w lights the plants never pearl. And I assume pearling is a sign of good health, good O2 production, etc. I just don't want to increase lighting so much I need to dose CO2 (as I'm away at university most of the year), but suppose that is the nature of low tech tanks. Does anyone have low-techs in which your plants pearl?
