Hey all,
I just changed just about everything in my 55gal. african tank. I changed all of my rocks to lava rock (some of wich I already had in the tank), changed my substrate to sand, and added some plants.
I have two large java fern bunches and one small one, two nice anubias nana's and some java moss. (all are tied to rocks). I realized even though they are all "low" light plants, my 48" regular 40w of fluorescent light was not gonna cut it.
SOOO... I went ahead and bought a 130watt light fixture off of ebay. It comes with 2 65w 50/50 bulbs. (I know they are meant for a reef). and was wondering if it is too much light or if I should be adding ferts and/or co2. (If I should be adding ferts, please tell me what/how often/how much and if I should be adding co2, I would most likely be going the diy yeast method).
Any input/ suggestions??!! Thanks!
**Pics soon to come**
