Hello
My new Metal Halide arrives in a few weeks and want to start to think about the transition from my current lights Arcadia 60cm Luminaire 4 x24w T5 tubes for 7 hours per day. The main reason for the change was the fact that the 6Ocm light was a tempoary fix whilst waiting for Mh to arrive from Japan.
Tank spec is 190l (90cmx45cmx45cm)using pressuirzed CO2,(green drop checker by lights on) dosing daily ADA nutrients (step1 and brighty K) and an amazonia/powersand special substrate. The tank will be a couple of months old when the light arrives, so fairly stable/mature with good plant growth. See my lounge tank journal in my signature for more info
So in short I will be moving from 96w of light to mh150w light.
I think i know some of the answers, but would be interested in what advice/experience you can give?
Thanks
Andyh
