Hello all, I'm extremely new to aquascaping, and i am currently only learning the basics!
I've currently set up a Fluval nano tank with basic beginner plants with success, but the size of the tank is really limiting my imagination. so i'm thinking about buying a bigger tank.
The dimensions of the tank i'm looking at are: 80x35x35cm. 96 litres.
After endlessly scrolling through pages on the web i'm none the wiser of what lighting would be perfect for growing plants in an aquarium this size.
I want a medium to high light tank so I can grow any plants i'd like to with no worries (in the light department) I understand that more light would mean more demands from the plants, CO2, fertilizers, etc. this is no problem as i plan on getting pressurized CO2, and i'm already using flourish excel and comprehensive on my nano, with Tropica substrate.
I'm just lost with what lighting i should get and how to calculate lighting with height of the tank etc, its all very confusing to me. I understand that WPG is outdated.
Could anyone shine a little light on this for me? And also, any links to lights that would be suitable for the tank measurements above would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Chaz.
