Afternoon all,
I'm kitting out a 30"+15"+12" 88 litre tank and have a query ref lighting!!!
Initially am going to be dosing with CO2&ferts and the tank will be fairlly heavily planted (ludwigia, crypts, hygro, anubias & java fern). I may poss use CO2 injection in the future.
I need to buy a lighting rig to fit in the hood...so what should i get?
Should i go for a twin T8 ballast or a single T5?
If I get a twin T5 ballast, is it ok to run 1 bulb and leave the other empty (until poss needed)?
I want to minimise algae (obviously) and want to show off the plants as much as poss. But, want a setup where my plants remain healthy. Fast growth is not really a concern, but healthy looking plants is.
Many thanks in advance
