Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I have a 75g (tall) aquarium that is currently running the 48" variety of this:
BlueLine 48" 36w White VHO LED Strip :: LED Lighting Systems :: Lighting :: Champion Lighting & Supply
1x Anubias Congensis
1x Anubias Barteri
2x Hygrophila
2x Lloydiella Bunch
1x Ozelot Red-Spot Sword (with 1 pretty big baby and a 4-baby runner sprouted)
1x Java Fern Mat
12x Cryptocorne Bronze Wendtii
12x Tiny pieces of duckweed leftover from the old tank.
I have Eco Complete substrate, root tabs and dose Flourish Excel daily. I am not running CO2 yet, and not sure if/when that will happen.
My Ozelot sword is the centerpiece and the runners are thriving at the top of the tank.
The bigger leaves on the mother plant, however seem to turn brown and die. It seems to be the leaves that are positioned underneath some of the higher leaves.
The leaves that are mottled and darker seem to do fine, but the greener leaves with faint spots are the leaves that seem to die.
Anyway, my question is, would adding another LED strip provide me with high enough light for most plants (want a carpet of dwarf tears if I do add CO2), or should I just bite the bullet and get a different lighting system altogether?
