Hi
I have recently set up some tanks in my garage which is pitch black. I had lights on the tank which I had running for 8 hours a day but when these weren't on the room was in complete darkness.
I struggled to get any plants to grow in this tank and the fish are a lot happier now they have been moved to a tank with natural light getting to the tank before the tank lights come on.
I have seen many people with garage and basement fish rooms with no windows / natural light in. Can anyone help with how they get around the lighting issue or what I can do to get these tanks working to some level?
