Fluval 3.0

[santiagopalomares01]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to planted aquariums and I wanted some advice for how to set my light. I've just recently bought the fluval 3.0 and I'm not sure how I should customize my settings to fit my needs, any tips ?

These are the plants I have 👇

--Pogostemon stellatus octopus
--Pearl weed
--Ludwiga repens
--Red dwarf aquarium Lilly

What size aquarium are you putting it on? For me personally I would set the strength, set it to about 10 hours, and have it be off during the night time.

I would try starting the light at 60% or so. The plants you have aren't too demanding.
