![]() Im not sure who better to ask since there are so many fresh water folk on here as well.
I will be ordering a par 38 bulb for my Freshwater betta/shrimp tank from good old aliexpress. It is an Aqueon Evolve 8, so like in reality only 5 gallons or something... I've all ready got a gooseneck light attachment for it just running a CFL for now. So I do have some ability to move my light up and down. I have all easy "Tropica" plants in it like: Marsilea crenata Tropica Potted Hygrophila 'Siamensis 53B' Limnophila sessiliflora Ludwigia palustris Rotala rotundifolia I am looking at either a 12 or 15 LED bulb. They will all be 3w Cree chips. But I don't think these ones run at their full output (ie 45w running at 18...) http://www.aliexpress.com/item/45W-L...226326976.html http://www.aliexpress.com/item/36W-E...053569418.html I think this is the basis of my choices to make things simple... Deep Red 660nm Orange 610nm Green 520nm Yellow 580nm Deep Blue 460nm Royal Blue 450nm Infrared 730nm Normal White 6500K Cool White 12000K/14000k If I got the 15 pcs bulb I was thinking something along the lines of 6 x White (3x6500k 3x14000k) 3x blue450 3x red660 1xyellow580 1xgreen520 1xinfrared730 But I have no idea.... This was much easier picking the custom lights for my light for the salt tank.... I don't want so many white that it burns the plants being too bright. But I don't want so many other colours that all I see is a rainbow. I want a nice natural light look with optimized plant growth. What would you pick? |
