    OMGoodness! That's an awesome explanation, thank you. To be honest, I don't know why my lights work, they just do, so I'm happy with them lol. But because I don't know why they work I can't explain it to someone who might be asking questions. So again, thank you!!!!!

    Ohhhh I'm new to it too. Though I had a few plants in the September/October time frame I didn't switch to dirt till November. I got this light in late november. I JUST figured out the bulbs and bla bla bla lol.

    You're the second person to ask me if they're blue, they're not. They're very bright but they have no blue to them. I bought the fixture from an individual and they were already in it. They're sylvania, and they're on the sylvania website. I don't know what store I'd get them from lol.

    I've had plants in this tank since late September. I converted to a dirt substrate the beginning I November. I've done a few water changes, I can't say how much. I drain and fill at the same time. In a planted tank you're not really suppose to do water changes lol. Once it gets completely...

    This is my tank on October 30 and again on December 27th. Note: I've taken plants out but haven't added any. What I have done is trimmed so much new growth that the trimmings are what has filled my tank. Ashley, I have my lights on for 4 hours, off 4 hours then on for 6 hours. Diana Walstad...

    Yes, 10 hours of light per day. I've not had algae issues. Diana Walstad says if your plants are doing good they'll out compete the algae for nutrients...maybe that's happening, I dunno. All I know is that I've not had that first algae bloom. (knock on wood!)
