I have this bee in my bonnet which has been buzzing into my ear that in a high lighted planted aquarium, when all the colour bands are present in high intensity, each of the plant specie will be satiated with energy by absorbing their favourite colour band, by producing the pigments to do so and thus being compelled to show their most colourful self.
So after more than a month of neglect while I corrected the lights and renewed all the wiring and CO2 supply; I have severely pruned away the rank growth, and done a water change.
The size of the tank is – 72” – 36” – 24” high
The lights are 3 X 150W 10000K MH, + 2 X 150W 3000K MH, + 3 X 40W 6500K T8, + 2 X 40W “Azoo Tripower” (magenta coloured) T8
I am a bad photographer the attachment has been resized but I have not played with the colours.

As the picture I posted last week did not match what actually hits the eye; this week I did some colour corrections with Irfan. I also came closer both to the visible colour and the aquarium so you have split pictures of the left and right.

Stunning! Simply stunning!
Roughly a 270g (US) tank with a total off 950w of lighting. Around 3.5 watts per gallon. Electricty bill must be insane!

Get your facts first! Then you can distort them as you please.You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way & the only way, it does not exist.

The GLMT I am presently building will have 910W of lights. More insanity! Then look what it grows. |
