thanks for that going to start getting the bits i need from this friday but going to stick with the one arc light and see if i can upgrade the bulb to 18w, and use just tpn+ and easycarbo with the following plants Hemianthus callitrichoides, Pogostemon helferi, Staurogyne sp., Blyxa japonica.

hopefully wont need pressurised co2.

i think you will struggle with the blyxa, even with easycarbo, and tbh one arc light isnt sufficiant.

so would you suggest 2 arc lights ?

and what would be the problem with blyxa low light with one arc pod or not using pressurised co2

i believe blyxa requires high co2 levels to do well, i'd get 2x11w arc pods and then you will be dosing tpn+ 2ml daily and the same for easycarbo(as long as you have no shrimps)

was planning on having it as a shrimp and possibly tetra tank so would you say reduce the easycarbo to 1ml daily

in that case follow instructions on the bottle for easycarbo

upgrading the bulb wont give you more light.

 

[aly_starh]

am i right in saying they will be better with T5 lighting?
edit: nice tank btw, very nice infact

not really, it doesnt matter on what type of bulb you use as long as enough light is getting into the tank

 

[aly_starh]

EDIT. Confused

 

[AdAndrews]

t5 are more useful as obviously its more light coming into the tank, however this doesnt mean you cant achive more light with all t8's. if you have t8's though and are limited to space within your hood, or simply cant upgrade to t5, you can get t6's at aqua essentials, these kick out much more light thank t8;s

thanks guys
