Looking good, how do you think the leds compare with the 9w light?

I was initially running 2 LED's, which aesthetically, looked bright enough, but they were rated at 12k in terms of colour temperature so the growth was never that good. Funnily enough the Arc pod wasn't that great on its own but with the two combined they do a fantastic job and the rotala grows like wildfire!

Looks really good. I got one as well, but without CO2 and just with two leds and not heated. Search for Backwater, as I do not want to hijack the thread.

That's really smart mate, what bps are you using on the co2? I have a little dennerle cube and wantedto set it up but don't want to go over kill on co2, would 1 bubble every 6 seconds be right left on 24-7

Shame they didn't make the ligting just that little bit better.
