I just got a new tank hood and bulbs today and I think the bulbs put off too much light for the pair. What do you think? I have not added IAL yet but I'm going to try and make the water tea colored as usual. Just give me you opinion as I do have a back up light
lol, it seems bright to me... you may want to tone it down, but since you'll be tea-ing down the water, it may be okay. (I imagine the tea would act like fish sunglasses.)
Thanks! The lovebirds come in from Thailand tomorrow so I'll pick them up from my transhipper. I'm just cycling the tank now but they'll be conditioned in seperate 3 gallon heated tanks for two weeks.
Ya the light has dimmed a bit since I first plugged it in....the IAL should be seeping into the water soon (my corner filter is bubbling and I cut up with leaves to speed up the process).
you might try getting some brown paper (construction paper or even a cut up brown paper bag) and dimming the light a bit. IMO once its tinted it shouldn't be much of an issue.
Yup using one bulb and the water is starting to tint so ya it shouldn't be a problem.
This guy comes from Ploybettas and will arrive in Linda's shipment tomorrow with a sibling female. $40 to Ploybettas and $4 to Linda as a handling fee. I have everything prepped for them and they should produce some really nice fish.
Well I have to wait till Wednesday to get my fish since Linda is in the hospital (she had surgery) and the fish are going to a pet store (not to be sold!) owned by Linda's helpers for sorting. Long story short I have to go pick them up on Wednesday. So conditioning begins Thursday the 5th.
