Aquarium Advice Activist
ahoy pretty new to planted tanks and i wanted more information on lighting for my 40 gal planted currently in progress.
what makes an aquarium a high light or low light is their a formula you can use to calculate this like one gallon per one watt or something along those lines?? can the light be to high for an aquarium if you dont have enough plants in it?
I also keep reading threads about lighting spectrums but dont know enough about what the spectrum is to fully comprehend whats being discussed.
And gh and kh???
can anyone give me a watered down version because everything ive looked at on google goes into way to much detail. That or any links which are for beginners.
thanks
