Hi all
planning 7ft tank with C02 & high light (compact pc). Been playing around with idea of putting a 6ft light, so that around tank perimeter, there are some less bright areas for discus to retreat to when they want to get away from bright light.
My questions are:-
Is 6ft light small enough, when put on a 7ft tank to create less bright areas, or will light still spread fully over entire tank.
If 6ft light will still create a fully bright tank, how about 5ft fitting?
I would keep lower light plants around tank perimeter & put high light plants directly under light.
Not sure if I will do either of the above options, but wondered if the planted tank experts here have any opinions on this. Thanks in advance.
