The presence of that 10000K bulb changes things considerably!  The depth penetration of the 10000K balances out the lack of penetration in the Roseate. You've actually got a REALLY nice blend of lighting.
And FYI, I no longer inject CO2 (results were too GOOD) and I only use Excel for algae control - I don't dose daily. |
Oh, so I should be good then w/ my lights? Well, that's encouraging! Thank you again!
I've only been running the 2nd fixture for a few months, but I've seen some awesome growth w/ some of my plants. My Amazon Swords are producing new leaves every couple of days, (I use Root Tabs for them). My Crypts melted when I first planted them, but are beginning to bounce back.
What type of ferts do you use? Aside from the Root Tabs, I'm only using Trace.
