Any good FL or PL for normal application is more than sufficient to meet the plants light requirement.

there could be truth in the dennerle researh fiindings because i noticed a lot of algae outbreak in pl lighting configs. mostly the dreaded ba's.
for fl's, i used to use cheap lighting [azoo, hitachi etc] and i got a lot of ba's. ugh. switching to sera made a big improvement.[but still had to scrape the walls]
i hope to get better results with the ADA ones coupled with dennerle fertilization method.[once fortnightly water change]
can somebody please make an auto liquid fert dispenser?[with multi chambers, daily, skip one day, per wk or two wks timer, choice of drip or drop] that would really solve all my problems!
this is mainly because my housemates[apt tank] and folk[at home] don't really get the science of all this and are only good at topping up and changing water, feeding when i'm away for as long as one month.
i live in hope...
