I'll be redoing my 40 breeder soon. The lights I'd like to use are 1 Current USA Satellite 36" full spectrum 6500K
2 Chichiros 401A 16" up to 8000K these lights are white. I'll place them end to end to make them reach 36"
Right now my lights are on 8hours a day.
I use CO2 around 2bps
Substrate, I think I'll try the Eco complete?
The plants I'll be using are as follows.
Crypt Wendtii brown 6 of them.
Red Flame Sword 1 pretty good sized plant.
Brazilian Penny Wort, a hand full of this. Right now it's floating. I'd like to have it float in the new set up.
I could also put some in the substrate as well.
Red Tiger Lotus 1
Dwarf Water Lily Nymphaea Rubra 4
Hygrophila Pinnatifida 1
I've seen a lot of videos where people were using one led like one of those Finnex 24 7 fixtures or a single fluval led etc.
I tried T5HO lights but had bad algae problems.
I have a small 10watt cool light color aprox 6000 to 6500K led spot light when I turn it on over my Red flame sword the plant starts to pearl right away big time.
It pearls a little when the light is off. So that's why I'm not sure how much light I need over all.
Any suggestions will be Greatly Appreciated!!!
