Adequate lighting for deep tanks

[GaryE]

Two questions.

@Oldspartan - what do you mean by layered?

@JuiceBox52 - you used 'adequate' and as I scrolled a moment ago, that hit me. What plants do you have in mind?

Lights at different levels in the tank. (top / bottom for instance)

mine are, I light my backgrounds, and have added LED plant lights for all the terrestrial plants I grow out of my tanks... none of my tanks only have an "aquarium" light

Nothing incredibly high maintenance, I do not plan on co2, and higher light plants will be planted higher up in the hardscape with things like crypts down below.

Can you show an example of your lighted background? The background of this tank is painted black but I am interested in how you mean

@JuiceBox52...
for you... I do a vinyl picture background, and use an 18 inch plant light, laid along the back of the tank facing up... all the lights off, except that light..
