Firstly hello everyone
I would like to say what a great forum this appears to be as it kept me up till gone 3am this morning after i stumbled across it last night
I am starting to embark on my first planted tank and as such have a lighting question that i would like some help on. I have a 31 inch tank that holds around 66litres /14.52 uk gallons , i have started some planting using java ferns and some other "unknown" plants and i have also invested in a C02 hagen unit. So the question is how much light do i need for this tank? i am currently running an 18w 24" Arcadia which states "promotes plant growth" (original tropical light)although a get a feeling that i need more light! my lid is a jewel lid which only appears to have room for one tube (is there a way round this?)
So any advice???
