I see only riccia may require more light else generally undemanding. Ballpark 2.5 to 3 watts per gallon is desirable

You can calculate how much wattage you have with our Aquarium Calculator. The link is just below our site banner, on the right.
Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
is your riccia floating?
In my opinion, it is not enough. However, you did not inject CO2 so too much also not good. For your information I have 72W for 1.5ftx1ftx1.2ft
Problem with riccia if they do not receive enough light is start to rot and slowly dislodge from whatever you tie it on to. It will float but still growing
In my opinion riccia is only suitable for high light tank with CO2 injection. It is very prety when they are pearling.
Why are you running your lights alternate 4 hrs instead of 8hrs or 9 hrs continuous? any particular reason?
some people believe that it will help prevent Algae.
ah I see. doesn't this stress the fauna though? unnatural light cycles and all.
it is ok, it wont be completly dark anyway. Unless your light time is in the middle of the night Fauna probably think (assuming they can think) that claude covering the sun.
However I do read somewhere that plant is at maximum rate of growth after 6 hours of continuous light. How true? no idea
I think depends on the type of plant, they all have a range of photosynthetic cycles they will thrive best in.
nope, mostly depend on the plant you choose and how fast the grow rate you want it to be.
I have 72W because the initial 36W does not make my glosso stay low. 55W is too long for 1.5ft, though I do grow nice creeping glosso in 2ft tank with 55W. So the next available option is 2x36W.
