I have 90 gallon tank with: Java fern, moss balls, a onion plant, and two Luteat Cryptocoryne walkeri plants. My lights are one timer for 11 hours / day
My one light is no longer safe to use so (switch shorted out) so I need to replace it. I’ve got a extra light fixture to use so here ‘s what I was thinking of using: one 48 inch T5 fixture with two 28 watt bulbs @ 6700K and one 36 T5 fixture with two 21 watt bulbs @ 10,000K,
That would give me a total of just over 1 watt per gallon and some were between 6700 and 10,000K
I’m a little concerned the one fixture with the 10,000K might be too much. I do like the look of it though. Would lighting be OK for my plants and tank ???
