What kind of bulbs should I use if I go with 4 t5ho?

So I've upgraded my tank from a 46g to a 72g and I was curious on what kind of lighting I should use for my plants. I'm keeping it simple with an amazon sword, dwarf hair grass and a crypt. As of right now I'm using a Aquatic Life T5-HO Freshwater - 2 x 39 W - 36" with 1x6000k and 1x650nm...

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi everyone, so I just upgraded from a 46g to a 72g and I seem to be having an issue with fish just sitting at the top of the tank. A little history, I purchased the 72g used, cleaned the tank with water and a little vinegar, bought a bigger filter, use to have a marineland hob bio wheel, took...

As for plants I have some java moss, amazon sword, cardamine lyrata, and sunset hygrophilia. I'm using an API test kit, when I test my 10g I have nitrates showing...

I test my water once a week before I change the water and over the past two weeks my nitrate levels have been 0. I have a few plants in the tank and it's not fully stocked yet, I just wanted to know if this is normal. Thanks

No it doesn't

The supplement I'm using doesn't say it contains potassium. Since you did mention nitrate, the one thing I've noticed over the last two water changes (one a week). When I've test the water before I change it my nitrate levels are between 0 and 5ppm, when prior to this one I did my water changes...
