My interest has wandered! Do U?
you have almost all the good stuff but not necessary. i'll explain to you when you meet me.i will explain to you a new way of keeping planted tank without lots of hassle and cost you had spent so far.
keeping high tech planted in SUPER low maintenance.
things such as NO MORE ->, EI, High lighting, dosing of ferts, media used in filter, cleaning atomizer or ceramic without taking out from your tank, etc etc etc.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! TIME TO LAY BACK AND RELAX!

6500k most resemble sunlight. so i assume it will be most beneficial to the plants, accadia 10000k i'm just giving a try as although its 10000k, its pinkish. i'll put both of them in the middle, with ATI and Aquazonic by the sides. both of them are really white although its 10000k too. that will benefit the WPG issue since i'm planting Glosso.
Anyway i'm still on the testing stage. haha.
My interest has wandered! Do U?
my method is against most of what we had believed in the past till now. at this time i wont want this topic to becomes an argue topic as it will hurt LFS sales and many believer in AXA product etc etc etc. the method is proven to be effective and keeping our hobby at low cost and easy to maintain, cos there are people who had try it and is working well. especially like topic on algae, still many people do not understand where the algae comes from.
