Ok, I went through the stickies and the top and did a quick search, but I'm not very good at that, which is probably why I couldn't find the answer.
I currently have a 55g tank with plants. I have 2x67 watt and 1x40 watt lights going on, no C02 (and I really don't want to). My plants aren't doing as well as I would like.
How long a day should the lights be on? Right now I have them on from 11 AM until 7 PM (8 hours). Should I increase this?
I know... what kind of plants... I'm bad at that.
I will post a pic tonight once home from work because I did get some new ones, but the biggest problem one is an amazon sword. It is sending out shoots with new leaves, but the big plant's leaves are all dying and it isn't growing at all.
Thanks!
