Glad you posted this... I was considering it for my low-tech 55 gallon

So my substrate is about 2-2 and half inches deep or so... So around 19 inches.. That would put me at a PAR of around 22-24 with the Beamswork Razor LED if I'm correct? Good enough for non demanding plants in a low-tech 55?

So would that be too much light?

I don't use excel, but I do use API Liquid C02

So shouldn't be an issue?

I'm usually at work until 4 or 5 and the lights don't even come on normally until I get home. and even then I usually only keep them on for 6-8 hours.

My plan is growing low-tech plants though. So nothing that is insanely fast growing

 

[Blackheart]

Probably the closest fast growing plant I will be doing is Rotala. That plant usually grows like a weed for me even in low-tech. Besides that mostly Crypts, Java Ferns, Dwarf Sag, Water Wisteria, Amazon Swords, Banana plants, Moss balls etc.

I've just been eyeballing that thing for a while and wonder if it's the right way to go or not. I don't want algae issues though.
