HelplessNewbie Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 2 day chart shows Illuminance values measured beside my fish tank never goes beyond 50%. Light comes from north facing window, but no direct sun hits the tank (not at window). Was wondering if this will be good for establishing my new plants, assuming I keep nitrates at manageable levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Plants seem to like any kind of light, but excessive amounts create algae. I’d say you’re good to go ahead with planting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only ambient light...am I shooting myself in the foot? I only have the lights that came with the Top Fin lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelplessNewbie Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Okay, I guess I will open the shades more to help the plants establish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
