Hello everybody

not too good with computer threads, so please bear with me

I want a planted tank
tank - 80 gallon (48 x 117 x 55cm ) depth 55 cm(22 inch)
co2 - diy 1 bubble a second
nutrients - good
Diy reflectors - good

Lighting - 3 x Jebo T8 2foot 20 watt
- 4 x compact flurecent 23 watt

total watts - 152 (1.9wpg)

total lumens - cant work out , no spect on jebo bulbs

K degrees - 4 x 4000k, 1 x 10000K, 2 x ??(jebo)

Questions.
is adding watts of all bulbs together the correct way to get total watts
is adding all bulbs lumens together the correct way to get totals
is adding K degrees together not the way

Has any body got specifications for jebo bulbs,

I have been reading articles on lighting for weeks now and they have been increadible, however i need somebody to say ( my lighting is fine )

Please assist

Can't help with the Jebo lights specs, but the total wattage should be okay for low to moderate light plants. FWIW I would change some of the bulbs to the 6700 range, plant range, and then use the others to light your tank for your viewing pleasure and for what makes the fish show better. I don't use CO2, stay with low to moderate plants, but the 1 BPS sounds a little low compared to others I have read here. Hopefully, more informed folks will respond as there are many who frequent here, Good Luck.

Your lights should be OK. Even at 1.9 w/gal and ou have a very tall tank; so not much lumens at depth. No simply way to fix this unless you go MH lights (but not really needed).
