    I use an eu version mounted ca 10 cm above the tank,on that one I cut of the "bulb" or dimmer thus increase the light output.I belief planst like that light even better.Like your videos.

    Would this work on a 20g long for things like Ludwigia and Cabomba? More midlight demands?

  • @ainamal
    @ainamal 4 роки тому +1

    These things are great, they perfectly fit over 10g and 20g tanks. Only thing is if they get a bit too much water in them, they eventually short out.

    • @TrafishAquatics
      @TrafishAquatics  4 роки тому +3

      I've never had one short out on me but I also run polycarbonate lids that do a pretty good job of keeping all the water inside the tank.

      @@TrafishAquatics yeah I unfortunately don't have lids on all my tanks lol but currently I'm using Aqueon Deluxe full hood with a t8 floramax plant growth bulb. It's pretty dim lighting so I am experimenting with a walmart plant growth light that gives off a blue and pink lighting as it is much brighter. I wonder if it's too much lighting? On a 20 gallon planted tank.

    It looks like it's only 5000k and 1200 lumens. Shouldn't you have 6500k for plants and more lumens than that?

    • @TrafishAquatics
      @TrafishAquatics  3 роки тому +1

      It depends on tank depth for lumens, I have these lights on a 150 gal (28" tall) and grow low light plants well, plants will use almost all spectrums of light to grow, before led lights we used 2700k T8 bulbs to grow plants, now we have all kinds of different spectrums to to to get "ideal" lighting for our plants. Though natural daylight outside is closer to 5000-5500k.

      @@TrafishAquatics That's good to hear about this light. I'm using a 6500k ccfl light with a clamp lamp right now. I have some water sprite growing out of the tank so if I got this, the WS wouldn't get light anymore (other than ambient). That said, the other plants would get more light. My tank is 30" long and 12" high. I'm thinking this might do a good job. I'd probably leave the clamp lamp up though b/c I won't be able to see jack during the tank cleanings if I didn't have it. Thanks for the info!

      @@TrafishAquatics When you're cleaning the tanks, what do you use to light them up once you move the lamp off the top of the tank? Is it ambient light? My room is pretty dark. That's why I need to use the clamp lamp.
