Apologies if this is in the wrong section.
I have a 39 us gallon planted tank, I use flora base and I have two 39w t5 max light bulbs which are on around 10 hours a day. I've just added some new plants, but my ultimate question is what kind of lighting is this? Med/high? Am I right in working out that 151 litres with those bulbs means there is 1.9watts per litre?
The plants I got today are ludwigia glandulosa
And alternanthera reineckii
I want to avoid these plants turning green if I can, I add a daily fertiliser, and that's pretty much it, I don't run any co2 but will look into it if it is going to benefit the plants (I have a number of real plants but don't know all names)
If anyone has any advice on my lighting etc, if be grateful. Thanks.
