I have a 2 x lights that broke on mt 12G and I was wondering if my coraline algae will last 2 weeks until I buy another 2 x light bulbs? The only light it gets is that the sun shines in the window 7 feet from the tank and lights it up good when I open the curtains.

I have read about coraline living for 2 months with no light - not sure if that is legit, but it suggests that you will be Ok.
Sucks that those lights went on you!

Thanks for the info, I sold just the 12G tank and stand for $60, they will turn it into something that has to do with computers. I found out that when I just had the 1 PC light on the temp got to 86F too hot for my blood. It was probably the reason why I got it so cheap. Made my money back thou, because I received 12 lbs of rock with it, that was seeded with biology. I needed that rock to set up my non lit 35G. It will take me 1 month to afford to buy a radeon led fixture for $550.

Aquamania is using it on his canopyless 40G, His tank is deeper and my light will be a few inches closer to the the organisms and have a canopy. you can control it with the computer which is neat, so I hope I can dial in the right par and kelvin correctly. And I hope it doesn't give off to much heat. If so I will buy another one and just place it over a 55G canopyless. I hope it is as good or better then 4 x t5 on my 35G. I love the look of it so far. From what I seen the color and brightness seem far better then my old 4 x t5 h.o. I think this is the light: ecotechmarine.com/products/radion/radion-xr15w-proI might change my mind because I need something I can install under the lid of my canopy. |
