Jenny Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hello, I am fairly new to having a planted tank and I have become obsessed. I’m hoping to pick someone’s mind on lighting. I have a 125 gallon aquarium with a Finnex+ 24/7 HLC 38w light. I have it on a timer from 8am to 8pm. I’m wondering if A. Is that enough light for my plants (Amazon swords, crypto, jungle Val, Anubis, etc)? And B. Do I put it on max mode all day or is it ok to have it go through the 24hr mode where it starts at a low sunrise, full spectum in afternoon, and then darken for night? My plants are not looking too great right now and I’m wondering if it’s lighting. I use eco complete, root tabs, potassium, and EZ green. Please enlighten me. thanks, jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 its really hard to say, but if you arent growing a lot of algae, you could increase the light duration some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
