    Can you overlight plants?

    Can you overlight plants?

    I would prefer not to jump in to too advanced of plants right away. YOur 50/50 bulb idea would be able to keep me down with these plants right ( i read that akinic lights don't do anything for plants)? I am just trying to find a way to start this tank without having to buy a new light setup.

    Can you overlight plants?

    Thanks for the quick respose! Good thing on those anubias as in my aquascaping plans they were going to be under/around some driftwood. I figured the amount of light would open me up to some more intermideate to advanced plants but I would only go for Ludwigia at the most probably What ppm...

    Can you overlight plants?

    I have done saltwater and some cichlid tanks but I wanted to try out planted. I have a left over 36" 2 x 96 watt coralife aqualight. I was wondering if I could use that on a new 25 planted tank. I would only use one 96 watt 10,000 k daylight bulb in it, giving me around 3.8 watts per gallon...

    25 gal FO stocking question and/or suggestions

    Thank you I don't plan on grabing the fish and the sting is like a more powerful bee sting according to my friend who had one and only made the mistake of getting stung once in 3 years so far.

    I was recently able to obtain an 25 gal tank 36 x 10.5 x 16.5 (L x W x H) and a 10 gal for next to nothing. My question is whether this would be sufficent enough for a dwarf lionfish species FO tank I would like to have one as they are beautiful and are full of personality. This is what the...

    wouldn't it be more reliable to have it drilled though? so I don't have to worry about siphon breaks.

    Top fin 46 gal bow front tank question

    Also I would have it drilled pretty high on the tanks so It wouldn't take more than a few inches of water.

    Top fin 46 gal bow front tank question

    I bought a Top fin 46 gal bowfront tank and I was wondering if I could drill the back of the tank (instead of getting an overflow). The problem is that on most bowfront tanks there is a sticker on the bottom that says " TEMPERED GLASS do not drill the bottom of this tank" but on mine the...
