hey all... just wanna ask, how to know whether my aquarium has enough lighting or not? currently i have one 36W + 40 W light... is it too much? if i on both for 8 hours, then the algae started growing fast.. if i on only 1, then lesser algae...

Width : 34 cm

everything seems ok, except the temp a bit high, do you put fan?
if not, try to fan, and can reduce ~2degree...

pH?

what type of plant that layu?

Yea, i did put fan... 2fan, and i never on whole day, scared the adaptor will burn. haha. Cause after few hours and the adaptor is very hot.
PH i never measure.. should I measure often? the grass is layu... most prob my ADA soil is not suitable? so, the light is more than enough?
should i add any fertilizer? like liquid fertilizer... please advice... wink.gif
