hello, sorry to duplicate posts between forums but uptake has been slow and I know a fair few guys on here are good with nanos.
copy and paste time.
I'm currently in the process of setting up an slightly less than 11" nano to trial the tom barr emersed growth method of planting HC and I was wondering what is the best light source once it is set up?
I was considering a single 24watt power compact or possibly a pair of AZOO or arcadia nano lights.
Also while browsing I found a nano LED luminair intended for reefs but this would be spot on, I have emailed the shop and await a reply regarding sutability, the question here really is which method of lighting would people suggest/ say would provide the best source of light?
I would like to avoid co2 injection where possible but I may sway and use diy until funds allow for pressurised if co2 proves to be essential.
For the scape I intend to have a carpet of hc with a center peice of a moss covered unipac root and also some anubias or miniature crypts, something low maintainance anyway, possibly some stems of HM as a back ground.
That or Iwagumi style layout with just HC and moss I don't know ATM, which would people suggest and what plants would you use?
Also I already own a Eden 501 which I intend to use on the tank to provide filtration, I beleive the tank comes in at just over 4.5gallons would this be suitable and provide suitable flow?
Anyway.
Thank you for any responce,
Gareth.
