Yeah I kinda figured it was a ton of variables. Just shocked my plants wouldnt respond better to a nicer light but I think I must have had a good balance. I have somewhat modified the light from the stock settings. Do you have any recommendations on how to change the settings? Currently running...

Hello, I am looking for insight regarding the performance of my fluval 3.0 light. About 4 months ago I upgraded from running a beam works 32 inch led and a nicrew 32 inch led to a single 48 inch fluval 3.0 light. This is for my 75 gallon planted tank. Its is 48 inches long and 24 inches...

Havent decided on the type of plants or what lights to go with, I wont have a setup until I move in a month or so. I like the idea of these LED floodlights and have been trying to do my research to see what will work best for me.

Looking for LEDs for a 30 inch deep planted freshwater tank, have never used a tank this deep before. Want to ensure the light will reach to the bottom of the tank.

Great sounds good, I'm gonna start looking for lights! Thanks for the help

Great sounds good thank you for the advice. I've been reading that overflow boxes can be loud, have you found any way to stop this. Sorry for all the questions but you're the first person to give me some good advice.

I want to make sure whatever light I purchase is gonna do a great job with my corals and I thought the 30 inch depth may cause issues although I've seen successful reef tanks that are much deeper

Thank you for the advice! I have been quickly learning that research is very important in the reef hobby. I must ask what exactly an aqualifter pump is, is it just a normal air pump?

Do you think these lights will be strong enough to reach down to the bottom of my tank since it is 30 inches.

Hello, I am currently starting my first reef tank and am looking for any general advice all the experienced reefers out there might have. My tank is a 30 gallon column (18x18x30in). I still need to purchase a light, a sump, skimmer, pumps, etc. I have been looking at getting an icecap 15...

Hey, I'm starting up my first reef tank and was looking for advice on lights to use, I am very interested in LEDs but am open to any options as I've never done a reef tank before. I am looking to spend about 200-400 dollars on the light. My tank is 18 inches wide and 18 inches long while being...

It is a stem plant but it's actually attached to a piece of wood if that helps

Found this plant washed up on shore in northern Michigan at the black lake, it is growing well in my tank but I'm not sure what it is, was wondering if anyone knew?

The narrow leaf is attached to the log with lots of shoot offs, the regular one is in the other picture spread across some small drift wood, the floating portion was attached to the wood but it recently detached.

I am attempting to grow java fern on wood, both normal and narrow leaf java fern. The narrow leaf is in a standard 75 gallon tank while the normal java fern is in a 20 high tank. I am not sure on the brand of the lights and I am unable to check as I am away from the tanks for the summer. The 75...
