Ok I scored a canopy for my 65g planted tank.
Even better it has a icecap 660 installed with 4x95w vho's
I changed the two atinics out for a pair of standard 30w no flo's and kept the one 50/50 VHO bulb and the one 10,000k VHO bulb in place.
I know the 30w no flo's should be peaking more light than they were with standard balist.
So I have 250w of light on my 65g
Tank specs 3"+ of 100% flourite
Ph 6.8 RO/tap mix
temp 85 deg
nitrates between 5ppm and 10ppm
co2 yeast reactors (not enough)
Planted heavy
By weekly 40% water changes
Ferts I use plant tabs under the plants once every few months and a few in the colum once a week and also fourish weekly.
What will happen here with the major light upgrade dont want a huge algae bloom.
this is a old pic with the 120w of no flo lighting
