Lighting for my 12 gallon

[Sime]

Hi,
Ive made a new hood for my tank with 2 14 watt tubes. 1 is a arcadia freshwater origional and one is an arcadia tropical.

What do you think of that? is it enough? I have vallis in there (which is look alive and healthy) hygro and 2 swords.

thanks a lot,
Simon.

Do you have reflectors and what is your tank's height?

yeh i have 2 of the proper arcadia reflectors - 1 over each tube.

the height of the tank is I think 12cm - its a Rekord 60.

my plants do seem quite healthy with this light level - even the pink veined hygro, the only one which isnt is ludwigia so thats going and i'll get some more hygro i think.

Simon.

12 inches you mean. That lighting sounds ok then. The Arcadia Originals aren't great but the Freshwater's are good. Your CO2 will improve things.
