FLFishChik Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) So, I originally bought a Fluval Aquasky 2.0 for my 75g because I’m doing “low tech/low light” plants. But, by happy accident, I ended up with 2 of them. So, naturally, I added the 2nd one to the tank as well to better light up both front and back. Does this increase the light intensity or PAR? Could I add more “Medium light” plants now that there are 2 lights? Or does it make no difference? Edited May 10 by FLFishChik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Cory Posted May 10 Administrators Share Posted May 10 Multiple lights can increase par. In this instance, being a 75g you won't get double, you'll likely get about 125%. as the lights will be spread out, if you put them side by side, you'd get more like 175%. There are some factors that keep you from getting just double, like light restrike and such. But in general, more lights = more light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFishChik Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 Thanks Cory. I suppose I could try a higher light plant and see how it goes. I don’t know how strong Aquasky lights are, but doesn’t hurt to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
