modified lung Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I had to remove all my floaters after getting the 3.0. They kept taking over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waricks Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 I have a question. I have noticed that a lot of videos and photos of tanks with the Plant 3.0 do not have glass lids or tops on the aquarium at all. We do use a lid, mostly because many years ago we had a reef tank and we would find fish on the floor every now and then. My wife is very nervous about that happening now so I am losing the battle about taking it off. So here is the question. Will the 3.0 be as effective going through the glass or is it best to just have it without a lid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentley Pascoe on YouTube had a plant 3.0 guide that is where I'd tell anyone to start. Best of luck.

It's best to not have a lid but obviously it means the light is going to take some water and that the watersports on the light (or the lid) will make it less effective. I always run lids and just try to keep them clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Cory has a few older blog style videos where he borrowed a par meter for a week. He did some measurements with and without a lid. It's not easy to search/find it on youtube, but those are out there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waricks Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 I am really happy with my New light. However I can’t figure out how to choose one of the factory presets. When in automatic It is on Kake Malawi and I would like to switch it to Planted. Can someone help me with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone help me with this? let me see if I can find it and send a screenshot or a cory video. 🙂 it should start at the time right when Cory is talking about that feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
