I have just replaced my T5s with the Chihiros A901. I was running 2 tubes for 8 hours and 4 for about 5 hours.
My aquarium is 200L 99.5cm x 40cm x 50cm, CO2 and JBL Aquasoil. I try and keep PH around 7. Hardness is London Tap Water!
I have never had any joy with carpeting plants, so though I thought I'd give the LED a bash (MyT5s were quite old and probably due for replacement), and it certainly tidies the top of the tank up.
Since the change of lighting 2 weeks ago I have had a BBA outbreak- I always have it but its has certainly increased.
I am running the A901 on full power 8 hours a day. Do I have enough light? I suspect so- but why can't I grow any carpeting plants!
