I’ve recently decided to convert my 135 into a planted tank, I currently have 6 thorichthys meeki, 2 thorichthys pasionis, a jack dempsey and some swordtails.
I’ve have been trying out some plants in the last month or so and they’re doing well so I decided to buy some more. Currently I have alternanthera sessilis, some different types of ludwigia, some different crypts, hygrophilia and Bacopa monnieri. I’ve ordered some more ludwigia and some blyxa japonica. I’m worried I don’t have enough light though. I only have two 60w LED floodlights at about 6” above the tank. Is this enough or do I need more. I could add another 30w floodlight I have. I’m very new to plants so any advice would be appreciated. The substrate is sand and I need to keep it like that for the thorichthys so I can’t change that but I Add root tabs and liquid ferts.
