a few dumb question

[abrahamavelar]

I got probably some of the dumbest question some1 has ever asked

if i have my lights from the middle to the back of the tank ok or should i have them in the middle or it doesnt matter, reason being its that i have the glass tops and lights on top.

is hornworth a low, moderate, high light plant??? i have it in the middle but towards the front.

also im planning on doing a 50% pwc on my tank today and another same amount on sat will that affect my plants or it will help them or it wont matter??? also im running a diy co2 and will be changing it on sat aswell

i dont think it makes that big of a difference where you put your lights. i have mine toward the back because of the black rubber strip that hinges the two glass pieces of the lid together

IME hornwart is a low light plant, i put some in my 60 gal, and it took off like crazy at first, i have about 1.2 wpg. the growth did slow down once it had consumed a bunch of the nitrates, and other things.

i wouldnt worry about the water changes, i dont think it will have a big effect on the plants.

hth

Water changes can help replenish some nutrients to the plants, so they actually help in that respect.

It's up to you, a glass top will help reduce evaporation.

If it the right kind, probably not. Just keep it clean!
