Hi
I am wanting to set up my first planted tank in an Interpet Insight 64 l aquarium. This tank has a lid with a single strip LED in it. This can easily be replaced with a double or triple strip. Each strip has 12 LEDs in it which run at 0.2 watts each (2.4 watts for the strip). Is there any way to estimate the light output? I do have a lux meter but not a PAR meter.
I am wanting to set up a temperate, low tech (no co2) tank so know I don’t need a lot of light but an still concerned the above will be insufficient.
Thanks for any advice
Alan
