Hi all,
Recently purchased a 2x24W T5HO fixture for the 2ft tank. Light tubes are default ones, 10 000K globes. It is 48W over 20 gallons. (2.4WPG)
Tank is set at 24C however as the light emits a lot of light, the temperature could possibly be a bit higher on the surface of the water.
The section of moss that is starting to brown and die back was actually lush green with heaps of new growth last week and growing magnificently under the new lights but has since be dying slowly.
The weeping moss is attached to a large driftwood branch and is directly under the light by 6cm.
Does growing moss in 10 000K instead of 6500K have any effect on the moss?
Also, does positioning the moss directly under the lights cause it to die?
Could this be a nutrient deficiency of some sort I now have highlights and do not add fertilizers?
Cheers,
John
