Match the light to the plants
More light is not always better. It needs to suit the plants, your CO2 and how much upkeep you want.
-
01
Low tech
Ferns, anubias and crypts are happy under moderate light without CO2.
-
02
High tech
Carpets and red stem plants need strong light plus CO2 and fertiliser.
-
03
Use a timer

Common questions
Before you choose.
How long should my aquarium light be on?
Start around 6 to 8 hours a day and adjust. Long photoperiods are a common cause of algae.
Do I need a special light for plants?
Easy plants grow under most LEDs. Carpets and red plants need a stronger full-spectrum light.
Will a stronger light cause algae?
It can if CO2 and nutrients do not keep up. Balance light with the rest of the setup.
