    Hi all, I am urgently in need of getting a 1 ft and 2 ft light, for my heavily planted tanks, does anyone know which LFS sells these at reasonable price?( preferably cheap and good) and does anyone know if I can get 2nd hand cheap too? Need both urgently and good enough for tanks with lots plant.

    Another issue is I might buy a LED light ( for my 2 ft) if possible. Any brands to recommend and how many tubes do I need? Would appreciate the exact model.( if it's affordable I will get 1 for my 1ft tank too).

    appreciate greatly on bros that can guide me here, as I am quite lost on where and what light to buy.( my current led light can't make it, plants dying)

    Plant diying can be due to many reason. I do not know about 1ft but for 2ftx1ftx1ft, i will use around 55W to 110W depending on the plant as well as how fast i want them to grow. I try lower W, 24-36w but for experiment purpose, plant grow too slow for my taste.

    You can get from na or c328, not surw about the price.

    55w is 1 tube of pl bulb. 110w is 2 tube. You can also try t5ho 2x24w or 4x24w.

    One warning is too much light without proper water parameter will just create more problem

    For plant, I'm mainly talking about macro and micro nutrient, trace element and CO2

    in the nutshell, if you increase the light intensity, you need to increase the fertilizer and CO2 dosing. Otherwise plant grow will stunt and many bad thing will happen such as algae, rotting, etc

    Hi, what is the brand of the LED light you are using? And do you have CO2 injected into tank?
