Default Lights for a planted tank

What Leigh said!
I am taking today off work to go shop and build a CO2 system. I have
55 gallons Moderately- Heavily planted with about 2.5 watts per
gallon and for 3 -4 weeks now Algae has consumed all of my time! The
plant growth slows to a halt and the algae takes over. If it is
possible to ballance this out with any significant plant growth and
without CO2 I can not figure it out. If you back the light off to
control the Algae the plants stop developing. And if you do not the
plants run out of CO2 and stop developing leaving the Algae to take
over. Either way the plant growth slows to a crawl and the Algae is
my tanks best producer.



Thanks for the followup! Very valuable information!

Thanks!
Greg
