davidb Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 what lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindy500 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 umm just a Aqua glo 18" 15W t-8 18000k at teh mo, its what came in the hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 You will have major problems growing any plants with that lighting. 18 watts is very low intensity and 18000K is not suitable for plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondo Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 hi, i have put some java fern, christmas moss in my 45L tank about 2 months ago and are slowly growing, i have a 15W Glo power, i have a feeling it may be a marine white light. Is this the right light to be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I like the setup you've got, especially the log in the middle it sort of breaks them up. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
