Marineland double bright LED lights

[Zimmanski]

Interesting, I had their 18-24" (I think that's right) on my 10 gallon and it cast absolutely horrible shadows. It looked cool, but probably didn't look cool to the plants in my corners haha. Other than that I loved the light, I was sad when I returned it.
#imissmoonlights. Haha

That's so strange...and I love the moonlights! I'm really sorry it didn't work out for you

 

[abrinn23]

Alright so finally done putting it all back together. Plants are still doing great!

 

[abrinn23]

Oh and by the way zimmanski...I realized that I have shadows everywhere in my tank...thank your for pointing that out and ruining it for me hahaha

I'm so sorry!! Like I said I think it looks cool but worried me, if your plants are doing well then there's nothing to worry about! Haha

 

[abrinn23]

Haha yeah I still love it but I can completely understand why it would still worry you

 

[Zimmanski]

It was probably a bigger deal to me because I had the DB on a ten gallon, if you take the corners off a ten galling you REALLY don't have space haha.

 

[abrinn23]

Haha very true very true, what plants do you have

 

[Zimmanski]

Haha very true very true, what plants do you have

I have argentine swords (my favorite) Anubias nana, narrow leaf java fern (which is going crazy) and backpack carolinia, those are in my 20, I have soo many different ones in my 55 because I'm trying to test what will grow in that tank

 

[abrinn23]

I just bought java moss for my shrimp tank..that stuff is messssyyyy

I thought about trying a moss on a new piece of DW I bought, have you tried moss before? I hear that it breaks apart and messes with your filter

 

[abrinn23]

Nope this is my first time and I gotta say I do not recommend it haha it's not worth it. It looks really nice in the store but it completely broke apart as soon as I put it in my tank. A ton of it is latched on my filter intake

 

[Zimmanski]

That's disappointing, I would like to try some kind of moss someday

 

[abrinn23]

Well it would look good if you put it into your tank correctly the first time...take your piece of driftwood out first then tie the moss on there really well and it probably will turn out a lot better than mine did!

 

[greenwater]

Don't some people use small netting to secure moss to rocks and DW.?
I would

 

[abrinn23]

Yeah that would have been the smart thing...but I was too impatient. Instead I carefully tied down the moss to the rocks and I gotta say despite the debris floating around I really like it now
