The tank is 24x24x24, lighted with a 250HQI light hanging from the cieling.
When getting the light, I knew it was alot of light for the tank, even though it will be a high flow high co2 tank. However, I wanted the option of playing around with how high I put the light up.
After setting up the tank and the stand, I realised that the highest I can have the light up from the surface of the water is around 18".
Do you think this will be a problem?
There wont be any tall plants, and I dont think it will have any stem plants at all(HC is stem I guess, but that hardly counts).
Those of you with a PAR meter, how tall do you think my light needs to be? I would rather not downgrade to 150w.
Another thing I havent planned for is that the 250w hqi runs pretty damn hot.
I started DSM, and it almost fried all the HC.
