    Lighting In the planted Aquarium

    I also got LEDs and the results are good, odd that TGM took that stance. I have the aquafx 500, really low tech compared with the aquarays and my plants grow fine. Also George has LEDs above his tank and his plants grow fine, he even has stems! .

    Hi.. most probably a basic question, but I cannot get my head around it.. How much is a 1/16 and 3/6 teaspoon? 1/2 a teaspoon is easy, but the others? I looked thru the 13 pages of the post and could not find more information about it.
