Haven't had the grow light running long enuff to notice any difference yet. but i am loving the way the tank looks with it.
No. This model has a built in fan to keep it cool. Plus i have it above the tank enuff where no heat is hitting the fish tank.
Just a update on a few things. We all know cichla go through a color morph as they grow. Until they reach their adult colors. My purpose of having blackwater biotope/grow light to
mimic the natural sun light for the temensis is to see how soon their adult colors come in but also to see how it effects their overall growth etc and if it helps with maturity. I am sure we all came across a picture of a video like i have where we're seeing 12" male temensis with humps etc in the wild.
With the biotope and lighting i also introduced new food to their diet which is 60% protein and way more healthier ingredients. They are bulking up and putting on some size. Their spangling has come out a lot more. I will update with pictures soon but wanted to give yall a small update. But we will know for sure when they are 12"-15" how all this effects them.
