Light is for me the most important part to a planted tank, and at the same time whay most people get wrong at the begging including me, understanding lights has been by far my most expensive lesson during ny planted tank adventure, I've spent hundreds figuring out what light works for the type of plants I wanted to grow, a powerful light is always worth it.
@@Sinserg Yeah agree. I was originally going to stick with the light that came with the tank but seeing the plants struggle and the algae I'm like nope. Tanks only as good as its equipment haha
If you’re getting to much algae you’re giving tank to much light. I’ve found it’s important to find that butter zone of just enough light to barely get any algae. It also makes plants more perky if you don’t bombard them with light and the fish don’t care for it either. Even with a simple window in the bedroom and no tank light plants will grow fine.@@sasfishadventures9729
