Lighting A 10 Gallon Planted Tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
In the past few weeks since ive added the second 15watt hood on the tank, ive actually seen a difference in the java ferns growth. Its gotten taller and brighter.
 
Thanks to everyone that posted on this thread. I know i havent posted on this thread in awhile, but i think the two 15watt hoods is good for me. The plants arent growing extremely fast, but they definetly ARE growing. The java ferns doubled in size, and now the val is spreading like crazy. I even tried some micro sword in the tank and put that in a few weeks ago. Suprisingly the micro sword is fully rooted and is sending out runners. I actually think they look a little thicker to. Like i said, the plants arent growing extremely fast, but i am satisfied.
 
I glad you posted this. Sorry, but i dont know enough to give you an answer and i was wondering the same. If you were to hook a few up together that would be a lot of light. Hopefully someone can answer this question and post on here. Also i add a few pics of the tank in a little bit.
 
well im currently running 2 in my old incandescent over my 10gal, only been a week or so. I figured the Color temp would make a difference but idk.
