    I have a tank of height 1.5ft, can I know which type of light does you guys use? I'm planting some glosso and amazonia chainsword I hope I got it right.

    I'm currently using a 55w PL for the lighting, can advise whether will it be sufficient for the setup? My CO2 system is running on 3 bubbles per second.

    Please advise on the improvement needed. Temperature is around 27C.

    Pay attention to your glosso, if it growing tall then you might want to add another light. I'm assuming you want the glosso to be creeping.

    All black oyama? how you see inside then? form top?

    PL or T5 better? Oyama all sides except the front.

    IMO, PL tube nowadays getting more difficult to get, the one that available is mostly China brand Liyoda or something. T5HO have more variety
