Hi,
I have just got into planted aquariums and wanted to set up a low-tech tank as my first tank.
I have a Superfish Scaper 60 Litre Aquarium, it comes with this light.
I plan to only keep easy plants (such as Tropica easy labelled plants). However, I'm having a hard time understanding the light measurements (lux, lumens, lumen per litre, photon flux). I have bought a LED controller that can control the intensity and I imagine the plants will not need all 100% intensity if I do not use C02.
Could someone help me understand how much light I need?
How do I connect what (for example) tropica suggests:
Against what the light outputs?:
Thanks for your help!
