My Root tab box says to add them every 30 days. I have an Amazon sword with at least six runners in a chain that has been growing about six months. I use 6700k LED lights (not the cheap - but rather AquaRay), CO2, and Flourish Excel. I used to use HO T5 lighting with only two bulbs and despite...

I would run both 6700k lights that are good for plants and see how you like it. Give it a week or two and you might get used to it and notice more plant growth. The blue / actinic lights look really nice, but I don't think they are as good for plants as the 6700k lights. I had one 6700k and...

Are you running a planted freshwater tank? If so, there will be a a minimum time for lighting, and others more knowledgeable than myself will be able to speak to the lumens and other factors that can affect plant growth. I run my lights about 7 hours a day, sometimes 8-9. I have been...

You can also aim the output nozzles against the back wall to adjust the flow.
