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...

Does anyone have any advice for making plants spread across driftwood, it seems that they usually grow up instead of out for me.

Thank you for the help!

How were you able to tell it had nitrate deficiency? I notice lots of holes in my older leafs as well and they are not being eaten is this a sign of a certain deficiency?

Hello, I am trying to start a simple emersed growth setup using pots. I was wondering if a self watering pot would work for an emersed growth setup? Using a setup like the picture except with a higher water level? I also would like to do the pots with no cover and am looking for plants that...

Ok, I may try that. Did it help with plant growth as well? Just wondering, my plants grow very well in my 40 gallon but struggle in my 20 gallon which is where I really saw an algae problem after adding excel (lots of green and brown algae). It uses RGB leds.

Unfortunately I don't have the ability to do more water changes becuase I'm usually away at school I will try reducing the light tho I have no control over the amount of blue light that is emmited, looking into getting new lights when I get the funds

I don't have the specs of the tank and I do not live near it usually so it is difficult to get all the specs. Water changes about once a month, heavily planted maybe 10-20 plants. Tank is 40 gallons with a backpack canister filter. Lights are blue and white LEDS that are on about 9 hrs per day...

I was thinking of something smaller than that, something of neon size or smaller.

To anyone with experience using flourish excel, I wanted to use flourish to increase the carbon in my tank and make the plants grow fast/better. I have read online that flourish excel usually helps people get rid of algea since their plants can now use more nutrients. However I noticed when I...

The tank is a 40 gallon but chili rasboras are smaller than most schooling fish so I worry they may become food
