After much thought i have decided to restart my aquarium and go for a planted tank theres not much on the web in the way of info on people using juwel trigon 190 aquariums as planted tanks loads on being used as Malawi setups.
So far i have swapped out my fake plants and sand and added jbl manado substrate i like how it looks and that its like a chargeable battery for nutrients i also got a hagen t5 starter unit and 2 juwel 28 watt natural bulbs to run along side my t8 lighting unit that came with the aquarium that i have 2 20 watt flora glo in so now i have 96 watts all under my reflectors is this enough light to grow HC cuba carpeting plant? As i have a short budget i cant afford to get a factory co2 system to run in the 40ish gallon plus aquarium so I'm planing on using Easy Life profito & easycarbo open to any advice that could be given.
Thanks
