Hello all,
I'm brand new to the world of freshwater and have been researching planted tanks for a little while now. I'm wanting to run a low-tech heavily planted 35l and I've been reading so much conflicting information on lighting that my head hurts.
I have bought a light after reading Sudeep Mandal's guide to setting up a low-tech aquarium and he suggested the watts to gallon ratio, so I bought an 11w arcadia ellipse clip on light. Since then I have read WTG is an outdated method and it's all about Parr (which is impossible to guess and expensive to read... handy!).
Is 11w for what I want too little in light?
Thanks in advance.
