Does anyone have any information as to how muchlight certain plants need when grown emersed? I am really beginning to think that lighting plays almost as much of a role in emersed as it does for submerged. Some plants like Anubias probably only need minimul light, let's call minimul 5 watts per swuare foot just for a reference. I would then think that a plant like Bacopa Australis may need 10 watts per sq.ft. That would lead to a plant like HC possibly needing up to 20 watts per sq.ft. I know this is all guess work but is the best way I could put it to get my point across.
The real question is, those that have emersed setups, how many watts are you using, how far away from the setup is it, what is the dimensions of the setup and maybe even the dimensions of the lighting would be helpful. I think we can get something figured out that will help others to grow emersed plants without the normal failure rate associated with first attempts.
