Finally, a video about lighting that actually explains the amount and type required to grow plants. Thank you!

Bro I've been looking for this channel for a while. This guy got me into Aquascaping. Cheers.

That's the much needed video .lots of new hobbyists to planted tank suffer and search and ask about lightning. Best video series out there

[PastTheDirtRoad]

Great series bro. You go more in depth for each subject than any other channel I've seen

I bought an AI Prime Freshwater about a month ago and stuck it on my 25 gallon planted tank. It's absolutely amazing, I just wish I had skipped wasting my money on cheapo LED fixtures before getting serious about buying quality. It has more power than I'll ever need, is extremely versatile and easy to customise and keeps my plants pearling and growing happily.

First thanks for all the amazing content. You need way more subscribers and likes!!! Your channel is one of my go too now when I am researching something.

For me, stumbling into the hobby from my 1700 gallon koi pond to now 2 tanks inside, I have one T5 on my cichlid tank and now picking up a used T5 OH from Kijiji this weekend for my newly scaped 46 bowfront. For me, it's about initial cost going in right now - cheap and easy. If I stick with the hobby (who am I kidding, I have two more tanks in the garage), I'll begin to invest.

I love the edits you are implementing into your video man.

I enjoyed watching this video. I understood this video much better. I seen a few lights that you didn’t mention, but you can’t do them all. Thank you for sharing!

Great video again. It’s very educational.

[madfishdiva]

Great information. Aquarium lights are such a important part of the planted tank.

I was able to pick up a few Kessil Amazons from a store that closing, so happy they were willing to part with them for $60 a pop! Great videos, my dude.

I’m discovering this channel and your content is still so relevant! I meant to ask you I have a Aqua illumination freshwater prime. My tank is 16”x15”x15” is no where near the 24” that it can operate at 100% so I have it at 30x10x30 on the red, green, blue lights. My question is for new plants there’s a way to have a dimmer on for how ever many days I had my plants stress and end up dying. I dose on the heavier side with the 50% water change weekly. Co2 is working fine with your Co2 ph calculator ph: 7.6 drops to 6.9 at peak. My AR red plant gets green spots and I think it battles algae could it be that I didn’t have a long enough incubation period where the dimmer was on. My light is only on for 6 hours with 1hour where the lights fades on 30 min and fades off 30 min.

Thank you in advance.

For Fluval 3.0 Did you use 100% full lights on and for how many hours? Plants are amazing. Having algae problem with mine 8hrs + CO2 full 100% lights On.

Would a planted plus be good for a 10 gallon with some valliseneria, and Amazon swords?A majority of the tank is filled with Val.

[Diosesdepapel]

Great video lots of information Very interesting , too bad it went so fast ... i use Finnex light on a 20 long planted tank. Thank You for Sharing, i love your Chanel.

[Funsun]

The biggest thing I'm having trouble figuring out is what lights are the best for a deeper tank like a 55. Most do reviews for smaller tanks..I'm thinking about getting a 165w viparspectra will this work? Not looking for expensive. I just want something that will reach the substrate.

[outdooradventuresofacityco]

Just found your channel and this video at just the right time! I have a cycling 185 gallon tank. 30" deep. I want to do low tight plants. What can I do for lighting? I've been looking at everything and all I'm finding is super high end stuff. I don't have a grand to splurge on that stuff right now. Can I get away with flood lights for the time being? What should I look for in a flood light? Wattage? "Full spectrum "? "Kelvin"?

Thank you for your videos. Can't wait to go down the rabbit hole.
