To much light for my amazon swords?

UpsideDownSideways

I have a four ft long tank, it's 14 inches wide and 18 tall. Around 200 lts.
Plastic week I got a quad bulb aquaone t5 light. I have been running all four lights, but my amazon swords look almost like they are burning. Should I maybe just run two of the bulbs? Help would be greatly appreciated

Hi UDS,


Defiantly only use 2 tubes, 4 are to many for the tank, are they the ones that came with the housing.

If you are serious about your plants, I suggest to get 1x 6000k plant grow tube and 1x 6500k daylight tube.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply mate I'll start only using two.

They are currently just the ones that came with the light, two daylight and two blues(atinic-not sure how to spell it

Any idea roughy how much they are? I may do it in the future. I'm tight on cash at the moment >.<

For yours at 54watt, they start at about $20 and can go up to about $45, depending on quality of the tube.

These are online prices, then add delivery costs, I hope that helps
