OK this might be an obvious answer but gonna ask the question anyway 😜
I'm only running 1 light, which is a good light for the money. Problem I have is the piece of wood shades parts of the tank. If I move the light to the middle, the MC does good but the Palustris in the back corner is shaded so doesn't grow well. If I move the light back, the Palustris grows well but the MC starts suffering. I'm thinking of buying the same light again and run both of them front and back so all plants are getting decent light.
Would this increase the intensity of light in the tank? Or would it stay the same because the intensity is determined by the power of the output from the light, and I'm not fitting a more powerful output light.
If any of that makes sense 🤔 I'm just worried that if I increase the intensity, I'm gonna struggle with algae as I have a decent balance at the mo which is keeping the algae away 🤞 In a previous tank i had, as soon as I fitted a Twinstar 1200, the algae went crazy and I couldn't keep on to of it so shut the tank down. I don't want that to happen again
