![]() Do you know the spectral output of the whites especially the 14k? The plants you have are easy, except for the Marsilea, so they should grow well. Are you fertilizing or using CO2?

![]() See I'm not sure this is why I need help :P
No co2, but ive initially planted everything with root tabs (well not the marsilea since it was difficult enough to plant) And may or may not dose liquid ferts, haven't figure out what I want to do. I'm using seachem fluorite substrate. Everything seems to be growing reasonably well so far and Its been in the tank 1 week. The Marsilea is looking like its rooting reasonably well, a few bits of it that were kind of brown and meh when I got the cup are still like that but I see it trying to grow and I see the roots from the bits that were sticking up reaching down into my substrate. The other plants have all ready grown at least over an inch per stem. The lights on the tank right now are the stock light from the tank which is white and blue, no clue on the wattage of each LED im assuming super low. And a household spiral CFL lol ![]() |

![]() The thing you need to remember is that the colour temperature of normal daylight is around 5500-6000k with photosynthesis requirements using the spectral peaks at about 440nm (blue) and 650nm (red). You may want to change the infrared to red in order to assist with the L. palustris. I would also change the cool white to something that is 8000k max.
All the potted plants you purchased should do well under your current setup. The Marsilea will take time to get going. I would recommend liquid fertilization for the tank as the tissue culture plants will benefit from it. Also, based on the potted plants, L. sessilifora especially, with deplete the nutrients in the take quickly. |
