the-obstacle Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Live ones. :thup: so as not to be the rude guy that makes silly comments with no substance I'll continue - what sort of bulbs are they? How many Watts? Dimensions of the tank you intend to have them over? You've described the colour of the bulbs which will have some impact to the growth levels but not much in fresh water tanks with fresh water plants.

Li@m Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Bulbs are both 20 Watt 24' so thats 60cm Tank is 60x40x40 cm (LxWxH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Are they T8 or T5? I would say if they are T5s you could probably grow almost anything with perhaps the exception of Glossostigma and some other high-light plants. T8s will also grow almost anything but will not be as good as the T5s. What you can grow will also depend on your CO2 and what Ferts you are using/going to use as well.

Li@m Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Opps.. there T8s I am going to use DIY CO2 and i will be having Root tabs or JBL balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GZ_Loach Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 you may find that they will grow just fine with a little bit of fert and no co2, co2 is more beneficial in moderate to high light tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
