This is due to not needing as much time to explain things in English
It will sound off and I am sorry.

I set my lights to turn on 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the evening because I want to see it before I go to work and after I come home from work. My plants are doing great !

I really appreciate you for making this video in english so that larger audience can understand it. ur analysis are accurate and thoughtful. I always play in medium to low light with CO2 injection in all my planted tanks. its too much work using high lights.
Excellent insight. Thank you.

@@NORIaquaCh can I do a water change the (same) day I get a new fish?
@@coolwater411 Official WASABI Moderator: It's best not to do too many frequent water changes with new fish, as it may shock and kill them. 🐟🎏

I have a finnex 24/7 fixture on mine. Is it best to use a programmable fixture that changes the lighting throughout the day or a fixed output on a timer?
Thank you for this thorough insight into aquarium lightning.
For a few months I am fighting algae in my established aquarium. There were few problems before this happened: filter pump and lightning malfunctioning. After that I have bought a bigger filter and better/brighter lights (+95 CRI). There are practically no NH3, NO3, PO4 in the tank, but algae are blooming and covering all the sand and plants. On the other hand, plants were dying even when not covered by algae probably because of too much light intension/duration.
It has never occurred to me that 12h light period would be able to cause so many problems. I will try to darken the aquarium and then have half of the lights on for 6 hours a day and see what happens.
Too much light is not why your plant died. Since your tank had no detectable levels of nutrients in the water column, you would need a nutrient rich aquasoil. If you didn't have that then that's your plants died
i have a Chihiros RGB vivid 2 and what settings would you recommend for Red plants and Algae issues as i'm facing
Is it ok to lower the lighting position of my lights? I just ended up battling with Algae and should I say I started to enter the phase 3 I guess. All algaes are gone now and I wonder I wanted to close enough the lights to have more pearling. Thanks for the help!
Great, very helpful information!👍:) If i turn on the light in blocks, what times would you recommend? 4 hours lights on, 2 hours off, 4 hours on or what is a good time schedule?🤔
if you must you can do that, but highly recommend to do 7-8 hours in one go.
You have a beautiful aquarium, and your explications are clear . But if you can have translation in more language that will be better . For exemple in french,i will be very happy.😉

Do you have any tips for how to make rotala walichii grow well? Mine grow and have nice coloring, but the leaves are not as dense as yours. Do they benefit from lower GH/KH?
Official WASABI Moderator: Rotala Wallichii prefers mildly acidic water, and does well between a PH of 5.5 all the way to 7.5. Having ADA Amazonia will naturally buffer your water to mildly acidic. Make sure you are peaking 30ppm CO2, and your water is around 20 to 23 degrees is preferred. Rotala Wallichii does fine with standard fertilization, and weekly water changes to control your nitrate levels between 20 to 25ppm.
Thank you for this guide
Can you please make a video or tell me how to get rid of staghorn algae ?

Thank you, you always address important points, really great help to me 🌈
Hello.... My aquarium is in direct sunlight 100% exposure between 1-6pm
I can't cover,
Any special tips for me
Official WASABI Moderator: If you cannot move your aquarium, please cover the tank with a black blanket, and do not use any aquarium light.
Could you help me out? How do you grow Rotala Wallichii so nice? What is the Kh? Also I heard Wallichii don't like too much fertilizer.

i love this channel. just 1 thing.... 'acclimated' = 'acclimatised' in english
Thanks! - Official WASABI Aquarium Channel Moderator
What's a decent website to order Lights..i have turtles and live plants looking for something that does both
Check out Amazon - Official WASABI Aquarium Channel Moderator
where can I get those posters in your gallery?
Official WASABI Moderator: You can get them custom ordered at your local ADA distributor or retailer.
plants leaves close up around sunset i seen. turn off the light before with timers and adjust timing with daylight hours. 5-7 hours of light after around 1pm or when u get home from job with strong flow when first setting up or restarting is best to prevent issues. Use black window tint film for sides of aquarium as needed .
Official WASABI Moderator: Thanks for the support :)
That water level is surprisingly high. Do you have any problems with fishes jumping over?
We don't have problems of fish jumping out, a good aquascape and lighting keeps them relaxed - Official WASABI Aquarium Channel Moderator
