The tank in those pics is using this light:
http://www.hellolights.com/index…However that light comes stock with a 50/50 bulb which needs to be replaced with something different if you want to grow freshwater plants. I ordered it from Hello Lights and their customer service has been good to me so far.
I leave the lights on around 8 hours a day, set on a timer.
I just set up the tank in my new place about 2 months ago. Right now I'm actually battling an algae bloom myself.
Growing plants and reducing algae is about getting the right balance between all the nutrients in your tank. I think I have too many fish creating too much shit, which in turn acts as too much fertilizer for all the algae to grow.
- I'll get back to you guys with the plant names in a bit. got a deadline to meet right now.nocomply
