Hi,
I have kept tropical tanks for about 7 years, but recently decided to take the plunge and go for plants.
I have a 20 gallon community juwel tank, which is quite heavily planted, however i can only name a handful of the plants as the rest were unlabelled, and recently they started to turn brown and die off, so i ordered some tropica nutrition plus and easy life easy carbo. All was going well until my lighting decided to stop working all together, it is a juwel tank and i believe it is a connection somewhere as i replaced the starter and bulbs without sucess.
What can i do for my plants now, i think it is safe to say they will die soon due to having no lights at all but is there anything i can do temporarily to help keep them going?
Has anyone else had a problem with failure of lighting, particulally from juwel?
Has anybody managed to fit a completly new lighting set onto a tank (not just replacing i mean a different light not related to juwel) If so do you have any recomendations of lighting. I emailed juwel and for a new hood it will cost me over £50 which i dont really want to pay as it is not the hood but the lighting.
I also have a second 10 gallon tank with the worlds worst lighting and would like to fit another light to this.
Any advice appreciated
