Hi all,
I bought one of the new-ish AquaEl shrimp kits (the 10 liter) a few days ago, and have been running it with the standard 9w PC bulb that came with it for 10 hours. I am wondering if that's enough for the likes of M. umbrosum, HC and Marsilea that I also have. I also have an Arcadia Arc Pod - the 11w one. Should I use both lights, or just stick with the 9w? I notice in Amano's Aquarium World book 2 he uses around 30w on a 10 liter. If I could, I'd like to get by with just 9w as I dislike the design of the Arc Pod!
My previous successful tanks had a 24w Compact T5 over a 25 liter, which was about the same depth as this smaller cube.
For ferts I have started dosing 0.2ml Excel and 0.3ml Tropica Plant Nutrition daily. Current stocking is 27 small-ish Cherry Shrimp.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
