Hi all
New Eheim Vivaline LED 126, the LED it comes with is a daylight bulb with 6,500k, 1120 lm, 10.6 w
Still in the process of setting up, hardscape arriving Tuesday. Plants about another week away.
Just set the LED up to test it, it's a simple on off one. I notice in the Eheim manual a special one for plants is available,
that one is a whopping £180 and is 8,350 k, 840 lm, 10.6 w , so it's lower Lumen but higher Kelvin.
No way on this planet I would pay that price for LED at the same time it's made me wonder whether mine is up to the job.
Will be a CO2 system, cant say which plants I will have yet (Aquarium Gardens making me up a suggested list based on stock etc)
Slightly irked, the advert for my tank said
I took that as presuming the LED was suitable for plants
Many thanks
