My tank is lit from above with a home made 6500K Lumiere made from Cree 1W leds. power is turned right down on them.
When ever I grow eg. Bacopa Caroliana they always become leggy in that they grow great at the top (towards the light) but there is never much growth at the bottom. Its as if I need some form of light coming in at at 45 or 60 degrees angle rather than straight over the top.
This must be a common problem especially with people using LED tile type lighting.
Any ideas how to get good growth at the bottom of the plants as well as the top ?
