Now I know how much PRA the light is using
-light for the plant tank
-light low =? PRA
-light medium =? PRA
-high light =? PRA
thank you fablauGood questions!
Assuming you measure your PAR at the bottom of your tank, here are the general value-ranges in those 3 categories:
- Low light: 40 PAR or less
- Medium light: 40-60 PAR
- High light: 60 or more
I hope this helps! In my case, I am in the medium-high range with around 60-65 PAR at the bottom.
Can you tell me how many lumens you measure?thank you fablau
-you can download lumen meter app to your phone
-open lumen meter app and you follow the picture
-sorry to bother you
Can you tell me how many lumens you measure?
Hi fablauYes, I measure 323 lux at the bottom like you did. But I am not sure I am using your same app. Could you please give me the link of the app you are using?
-I will use your tank light to adjust my tankThanks. With your app and on Android phone, I get 250 lux. Quite a difference from the other app I used on an iPhone!

Thanks for your help
Fab, great to see your tank doing so well. And I was surprised that you are still adding 0.06 ppm of Boron each week, despite having high levels in your tap. I went cold turkey on boron and saw immediate improvement in some plants, like AR regular. It finally grew vertically for the first time in 2-3 years, actually. I still have some issues with plants not growing and collecting GDA, like Acmella Repens and Persicaria SP. Even after major trims and cleaning, plus high CO2.
Man.... What a journey!
WHAT A JOURNEY!!!!
Really great work!!! The best thing of all it paid off and you finnaly got what you wanted!
I read this thread like a book (believe it or not)!!
Warning: stupid question incoming..!
How do you trim your plants?
I've been zooming in like crazy to see the stems where you cut them and couldnt see any. So I was wondering if you just replant in front to hide that?
