Lighting & Co2 recommendations...?

[MangoR34]

Hello all,

I currently have a 50cm cube tank with 3 types of lotuses, some sunset hygro and a planted driftwood.

Im getting some Hemianthus Callitrichoides, Blyxa Japonica, Glosso and Madagascar lace plant, so i want some recommendations on the lighting and the co2 systems.

Currently I got 3 T8's ( 3 X NEC 15watt Plant), and I dose the tank regularly with Seachem Flourish and monthly add RedSea root tablets.

Regards

Im Thinking 3 X Twin T5 HO (2 X 24W) by GLO

and with the tubing arrangement, still thinking

3xt5 will give you much more light, watch out for the lifeglo tubes if you go with the hagen unit, theres very little blue and red in the spectrum.

3x twin lights is 6 tubes, thats ALOT of light, you'd need preasurised CO2 to keep algae at bay.
