Hi
don't know whether to post this here or planted.Oh well
Ok so basically i want to down grade my lighting.At the moment i'm running 2 x 45W Juwel High Lite T5's over 160L (42 USGAL) in a planted tank.This set up seems
to be pushing the need for more CO2 & Ferts.This is a road i don't really want to go down.
So the way i see it my options are
(1)Disable one of the 2 lights.But i like the idea of having 2 bulbs.Distribution of light etc
(2)Change 1 or both bulbs for lower wattage.Can't seem to find T5's in my size (895mm/36")in anything apart from 45W
(3) Get some floating plants.How much light will they block out.
(4)Decrease the time period.Started with 8 hours, now down to 5.
(5) other options i haven't considered
(6) Buy reflectors and install inverted.(just found this after searching)
Any thoughts please.
