Lightings
 

my light is currently 7 watt.
can i on my light for 24 hours?
require any strong current?
will it cause algae...
my tank only got moss and zhen zu moss and susswatang.
pls advice...

Think shouldn't on the light for 24 hrs because your plants need to "sleep" as well..

Hello aem80,


IMO, i think the lights should not be switch on for 24/7 like wat fireblade has pointed out. Plants have biological "sleeping" photoperiod as well. Algae growth can be due to many reasons e.g. imbalance of nutrients (K, N, P, Mg etc...), lightings etc... Generally, moss can survive under low light condition, but prefers cooler waters (it also varies across different species of moss). :)
BTW, are u refering to the 1.5 ft moss set up in ur gallery?

Cheers! :)

yap......:)

how long do you keep the lights on ? or whats the max number of hours one can keep the lights on?

i keep my 4 tanks on for 8 hrs each (from 4pm to 12midnight). all about 4wpg.
acting as night time lighting for walkways.
