The thought just occurred to me. Would, say for instance, a 15 watt light in a 5 gallon tank be the same as a 150 watt light in a 50 gallon tank? I am speaking about for growing plants. The guideli...
I've got my 30 gallon tank set up the only thing I need to do is get lighting. I want to get something that looks nice and I dont mind paying. I really like the look of the lighting in planted ...
So what kind of lighting did you have for it? Just natural light? I have a ten gallon, tall, tank, so I think that's why the lighting may not be sufficient for some of the plants I have tried. ...

It cost 100 dollars for my system but if you want to go with the whole pressurized CO2 system and such, the lighting system is about 200 dollars I think. Here, just go to drfostersmith and type in li...

...ead as much as you can and saltwater is much more expensive. If you are going to do a reef tank, it is the lighting system that makes or breaks you. The lighting is probably the costliest thing for ...
...039;s not necessarily bad unless it becomes an infestation like yours has. Does your aquarium have standard lighting or special high intensity lighting? Standard lighting should be left on about 12 ho...
If you stick to the more common plants, the lighting you have should work fine.
...at night, the fish still go into a sleep like state. They must be able to tell night from day regardless of lighting. Based on that, it seems possible that dark days and bright nights could confuse th...

Thanks for visiting.
A good starting schedule for aquarium lighting is ten hours a day. That more or less simulates light in the tropics. Some exotic aquarium plants require intense lighting, but...

Maybe instead of lowering the water I'll try to raise the lighting and hang it from the ceiling instead of having the cover.
Though my wife would probably not...
