Aquarium Advice Regular
I just added a brighter light fixture to my Fluval Spec V tank hoping that I could grow some red and pinkish plants. The light is a Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights 20"......
Does anyone know what light level I now have? And do I need to dose with a liquid carbon booster? Since it's only a 5 gallon tank I don't want to get into the whole diy C02 or a purchased C02 system. I just wanted better growth and more color on my plants. Right now I have Bacopa, Ludwigia Repens, Java Fern, Java Moss, Anacharis, Amazon Sword Compacta and dwarf sag. I had anubias nana and anubias nana petite in the tank but the snail in there keeps cutting off the leaves and the plants eventually turn to mush (I can keep them alive in another tank so I don't know why they do this in this tank). I have an Alternanthera reineckii roseafolia on the way and have just purchased some dwarf hairgrass that I haven't planted yet. Any info or help would be very appreciated as I am very new to plants and only 8 months into my aquarium adventures!
