Re: Hook and Point

You could do it that way round. Doesn't hurt to try! I think i got 4 options to try. Have front light on for less hours than the rear. Have the rear light on for less hours than the front.

Re: Will having 2 of the same light, double the intensity?

So as expected I am seeing algae growth on the plants. The plants that are suffering the most is the Trident attached to the wood in the middle of the tank. Which I guess is where the cone of light is hitting from both lights combined. I will cut out the algae infested leaves and monitor again. If t...

What do you feed your cherry barbs?

Do any of you guys keep cherry barbs. If so, what do you feed them?

But the barbs never go to the top to eat. Then I tried some sinking gr...
