I am getting into planted aquariums. I am slowly transforming my current community tank into a planted aquarium with a unique aqua scape. Eventually I plan converting gravel to dirt and having a full carpet of something whether it will be baby tears or dwarf hair grass.
I need to fact check with some others experiences. I want to do LED. I've read I need 6000-7000k and 1.4 watts per gallon. Is this legit? And if so how manageable is it for specs to not be exactly those numbers.
For now I'm using a 3w single LED desk lamp to give my plants something after my old fluorescent gave out.
Thanks for the input.
