    Twinstar 600s what % for low tech

    If you are going to run out soon and have no plans to replace it i would start to wean them off of CO2 now and slowly start to reduce your injection rate over a few weeks, reducing the light at the same time. I only run my Twinstar at 60% with high CO2 injection and have had it as low as 50%...

    The tiles were for the side of the tank and have worked really well. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Backlight ideas

    I used one of these on mine, works really well just mounted on the back of the cabinet and you can just twist it in its clips to adjust the angle. You can adjust the colour and intensity using the remote control. :thumbup...

    Halide 150W

    I agree 150w is asking for trouble unless you have it very high above the tank, if this is a new setup then the best advice is to keep the amount and duration of the light to a minimum until everything is in balance.

    How long to leave light on?

    If the tank is newly set up keep the photoperiod to 6 hours until things get established then you can slowly increase it, are you adding CO2?

    Is indirect natural light part of my photoperiod?

    Unless the ambient light is very strong and direct i wouldn't worry about it, if this is a new setup then 10hrs is probably far too long, keep it down to 6 hours until things are settled and more estabished, oh and forget about having a 2 hour of lights off in the middle of you photoperiod it...

    Could someone tell me how height to hang my light unit? Please

    It will depend on how high you have the light above the tank but in my opinion 4x36w will be far to much while establishing a new tank, remove or switch 2 of the tubes off at first and save yourself a lot of headaches
