Hi, we have an aquaone 510, home to three dwarf puffers and a fair few plants. After losing some "high light" plants that we were sold by the LFS we have recently restocked with hardier, 'low light plants". So we now have Java ferns which are thriving since day one, a couple of anubias, and a couple of cryptocrynes. We are also waiting on some polysperma early next week.

The standard hood comes with 2x11watt t5 compact lights, (thats 1.1wpg) and we were wondering if theres an easy/ cost effective upgrade to these as the aquaone list only shows the standard type.

The substrate is plain gravel, the temp is 25 degrees, and weve been adding nutrafin plant gro...although we are thinkng seachem flourish after this runs out, having heard loads of recomendations for it.
Is there anything else we can do to give these plants the best chance of survival/growth.

Thanks.

:good:
