Default Is 10000k to much for F/W Plants?

Alan Silver:
He doesn't post here, he doesn't have any words on his web site ;-(
Any idea of his set-up ? His tanks look stunning.


Alan,

I'll post what everybody that knows Luis can tell you:

- Layered substrate (see my other post in this thread)
- Light - 4 to 12 (yes, twelve) wpg, usually 10,000 Kelvin
- Dosing - Fe/Traces only
- Water changes - twice every week, 50% each
- UV sterilizer
- Eheim filter
- Plants - plan the layout carefully and don't uproot/move plants every few weeks.

That is it. No magic pill.
I, like some other folk, view Luis as an artist :-)
