Question on Aqueon Evolve LED

Green_Flash · 06-05-2012, 01:45 AM

Hello, I was wondering would the 8g Aqueon Evolve LED light be able to support these plants?

Cryptocoryne wendtii
Anubias barteri var. barteri
Amazon Sword
Anubias congensis
Brazilian Pennywort
Egeria densa
Hygrophila difformis
Money Wort
Ruffled Sword
Java Fern

Thanks

I think I will upgrade the light. Should I go with three fluval 13w or a 27w archaea fixture?

Can't comment on the Aqueon lighting. May want to search some of the journals here on the forum for details about it.

But if you go with more than one Fluval lamp, you'll need to provide pressurized CO2 and dose ferts. Same with the 27w fixture.

All of the plants you listed would grow fine with a single Fluval fixture.
