My buddy gave me a 20" t5 to grow some plants but one bulb is working the middle little bulbs are working the other long isn't do you think it's enough to grow moss?!!! I know the light is to big :/

Hahah, oh boy, that's an actinic bulb for sw my friend, sell the light on Craigs list and he t something proper, that's way to powerful anyways.. you'll have am algae farm that eats your moss alive..

this is too strong? What would you suggest

What is producing the blue light? Is it one of the long tubes or the (what I am guessing are) LEDs? If it is the long tube, then it is possible to swap it out for a bulb in the spectrum suitable for a FW planted tank (6500k). If the blue is coming from the LEDs, then not sure what to do.

 

[neontetra0131]

The blue is coming from the middle little bulbs.

Brookster the t5 is to strong for a 10g I was told a t5 would be perfect. I'm just trying to grow some kind of easy moss in my 10g idk about java maybe Some other moss or plant that only needs lighting no co2

 

[Brookster123]

That t5 with proper bulbs mind you, will put that 10 into.thw highest of high light requiring dry ferts and co2, there is no easy way to use that light, trade it, sell it.. or learn fast on high tech tanks..

$45 for the satellite LED+ (with the "plus" in it... Just to be clear) with RGB LEDs? Not the regular satellite right?

 

[neontetra0131]
