Your Rotala rotundifolia should do the same, but don't over do the light, if your parameters aren't balanced the trade off will be algae
That's worry as I have been algae mostly, I up it slowly and adjust as I see any algae changes.Your Rotala rotundifolia should do the same, but don't over do the light, if your parameters aren't balanced the trade off will be algae
@Daveslaney how you finding the twinstar? I'm thinking of getting the e series for my tank now.If you increase your light intensity your Bylxa will take on a redish colour if its more colour you want.
Heres a pic of mine in my tank. Started off green and has now got a redish brown colour to it. I assume it is the light intensity(Twinstar 600s).View attachment 113285
Thanks ms for the reply, I've just bought the 600s. I hoping the colours will give my plants and shrimp a pop.Hi James
I have the 600s model not for the extra light intensity but because i have a Aquascaper 600 50cm front to back depth so the light spread is better.
They are very bright and the RGB certainly brings the colours out IMHO. But they come without a dimmer although you can buy one as a extra from aquarium gardens. They also all come with a 2 pin euro plug so you need a adapter for this too.
Overall i am pleased with the light. I have a journal on here called Dragonwood if you look there are some pics of my tank on there.
Heres a quick phone pic of a fire red shrimp under the light to try to show the red.View attachment 114341
Thanks DaveLooks great.
Thanks, light has made a huge difference for sure.Looks so.much better like the new light bro
Thanks, glad you've enjoyed the read. Since starting this tank up last july ive had 2 jumpers, i belive they were spooked by my children playing though, ive also and some jumping shrimp lol.Hi James
Great tank and great journal!
The new light looks great btw, I had a question about your Harlequin Rasboras.
Have you had any jumpers? I lost all mine in an open top tank over the last couple of months, was just curious when I saw yours.
Thanks!

It's great knowing people have been following the progress of my tank I've enjoyed the journey myself, just a shame about the carpet as it was the tank was moving into the next stage.Oh mate watched this from the very beginning and loved watching it grow sad to see it carpet gone but at least u can have a move round
