Hi.
I have a Roma 200L tank with 4x 39w T5 tubes. I had most plants in the tank without a substrate for a month and then It was fully scaped and planted a week ago. I re-scaped yesterday as there were some major issues that weren't working with my last week's effort. I'm running all four tubes without the reflectors at the moment to keep the light low while the plants matures. I just wondered, is this too low a light level and also I am planting some Glossostigma elatinoides in the foreground today which is a high light loving plant so would it be a good idea to stick a reflector on the front tube? I was thinking all the low foreground plants might like a bit more light to penetrate through the 45cm of water?
Thanks
Dave
