supasi Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 How often do you change the bulbs? Fluoro lights lose their intensity after a while. Do you add any ferts? Although long straggly growth is usually lack of light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 That is not a lot of light for a 500mm high tank. You could leave the lights on longer and see if things improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
