Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my lighting to see if I may achieve better plant growth/carpeting. My tank is an Aqueon 29 gallon, 30.25"Lx12.5"WX18.75"H. Current light is an Aqueon LED OptiBright Plus. The tank has CO2 injection. Plants are pearlweed, dwarf baby tears and monte carlo.The pearlweed is growing well. Dwarf baby tears are slowly carpeting and a little lanky.
Would I be aiming for 1 watt per liter (29 gallons = 110L)?
I was looking at the following lights as options, but would be open to others:
Radion XR15 FW ProG2. Website says this one is 95W, so maybe 1 would be enough? I am not sure what the spread would be though, but I read somewhere that it's 3 feet (seems like a lot).
Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun: 40 watts, so I was thinking I would need 2 of them. Spread is 12"-24" from what I read.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts. Thank you.
