Hi everyone,
I've been keeping fish on and off for about 15 years, starting with a tiny tank with some guppies through to experimenting (poorly) with discus. I'm currently trying to establish a planted aquarium in my Blue Planet 160L tank:
At the moment I just have a piece of ghostwood in there along with some crypts, hairgrass, ambulia, and a couple of sickly stems of ludwigia. I've been running a borrowed LED Zeal 120 light on there, but I need to give it back, and have two LED tubes designed for my tank to replace it, but I'm not sure if they're going to be suitable (for reference the two new tubes are the ones lighting the tank in the above picture).
The tubes have the following lighting spectrum (according to the box they came in anyway):
I wonder if any of your fine selves would be able to tell if they're going to be ok for my tank or not? I am planning on putting CO2 in there.
I was also considering getting a set of these lights: https://makemyled.com/2-x-flora-sun-40w-dual-channel-full-spectrum-pendant-mml-florasun-402/, but if the ones I have are ok for now, I'd prefer to divert the money into a CO2 system instead.
Thanks very much
