Thank you, I may get a pair then [emoji16][emoji1303]

I just started up a 15 gallon tank with some live plants in it. It's cycled and ready for fish now, any suggestions on what I could stock it with?

I'm thinking of stocking a 60litre tank with an Apistogramma so I have a couple of questions 1: is the tank big enough 2: what tankmates would be suitable 3: how many fish could I stock it with Thanks.

Thank you [emoji1303]

When I cut the bad leaves off the stem plants will they grow back in the same place or will that just become more bare stem area?

I suspect the size of the ammonia spike is directly related to the amount of waste the bacteria has to convert.(more good, bigger spike) The fact your ammonia is going down and you're getting nitrates shows the cycle is working and keep doing what you're doing until you get 0 ammonia & nitrite...

OK I'll give it a few days, thank you. [emoji1303]

How soon after adding plants can you trim bad leaves? I added a few plants yesterday and already some of the leaves aren't looking good.

The unit came with day & nature bulbs and is giving off a yellow hue. Is this the nature bulb and if I get another day or colour bulb will it take the yellow away?

These are the specs of the 2 bulbs giving off the yellow tint

I bought a juwel multilux led unit for my rio 240 and it arrived with day and nature bulbs but the tank has a yellowish hue to it now that doesn't look great in my opinion. I was wondering if anyone could help me if I was to switch the day or nature bulb out for another they have available that...

Sorry the attachments were for the t5 hi lite tubes. These are the specs for the unit I bought in the end.

I just ordered the multilux led unit with day & nature bulbs as I think my t5 unit is faulty and don't want to spend £50 on tube lights incase its no use. So hopefully that will be OK for all I need. I have my lights on a timer. Thanks so much for your help. Really appreciate it

I've done some looking and it looks like I have the t5 unit, so I'll try find out today if it's faulty and needs replaced. If not I might just get the tube lighting. I've attached the specs for the tube lights

My tank has a 3 piece lid with the middle being the light unit. If I was replacing the whole unit would this work? https://urmstonaquatics.com/juwel-multilux-led-120cm-light-unit-vision-260-rio-240-300.html It comes with 1 day and 1 nature bulb but I don't know if they would be good for what...
