    Interesting Plant Question

    Can Someone Helpful Person Maybe Answer A Few Questions?

    Don't get too caught up on k ratings for bulbs...plants do not care what k rating they have. As Daize states up there ^^^ it's about preference...I personally like 2x 9000k, this is because it makes my greens look crisp. Heres a good link http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/lighting.htm

    I was chatting to Mick at tropica the other day and he was saying that they're getting 2-3 new crypts a week. It's the same as swords, they're almost always un idable now.

    Jungle Massive

    Thanks guys and girls! @ talltree, the tank and cabinet are a TMC signature and the lighting is the new TMC aqua bars. @ coolie, thanks...I have been aquascaping for about 7 years now, and believe me, it takes a while to get the flow and distribution of flow correct in a tank. Luckily I don't...

    Tropica Plant Growth Substrate
