LOL - boy, I know what you mean.
All the discussion, however, did pay off. After all the research we ended up with the ability to easily go from the starter 160W to 240, then recently / finally up to the desired 400.
What is yr secret to lush green plants? CO2? Iam using a seechem plant food and have upt my light hours to 10 per day, apart from a greening of the leaves there is very little growth!
It's all about Co2, a little ferts and lighting. Over the 150 I have 240 (1.6 wpg) watts of 6,700k with an 8 hour per day photoperiod; Co2 at about 3bps, on 1 hr before the lights and off 1 hour after. I dose w/ Pfertz a couple times a week - about 12 squirts of each (n, m, k, p) per dose w/ a little seachem iron and excel to boot.
Not being a big deal here - but, those pics just don't do the tank justice - it's wayyyyy bad in person!
