Hi, I am getting ready to upgrade my lights. (have OEM fish only) I am setting up a planted, discus 72 gallon bowfront (4 foot X16in high-after substrate, holding about 64 gallons after substrate- 3-4 inches of Onyx Sand.) I have purchased a fully automated CO2 system.
I am looking at the Coralife 260 watt planted tank hood. ( 4-21" -65 watt 6700K).I have read the sites on lighting requirements. My question is this:
Is this too much light (4.06 watts per gallon)? My thinking is that I will have enough light should I want some plants which require more light than the typical low light discus plants.
Any input appreciated.
