Default Sagittaria & Vallisneria

I have bad luck with vals, so I'm not going to try to pass myself off as an
authority. I always thought it was the light... hmmf. Certainly, 130 watts
over a 75 gallon is plenty for the sags, although they will be taller and
not grow as densely as they would with more light.

Well, two 65's plus the strip light, maybe. I found my 75 gallon was too
dim with 160 watts over it (4 x 40 watt) even before I added CO2.


My 75 gallon tank was fine with 2x65W. Very low plants, like glosso and
lilaeopsis, have done better since I doubled the lighting. But he's

trying to
grow Sag and Val. Those are moderate-light plants, and will thrive with

only
130w.
