HD Aquarium Time Lapse - HC 6 days in 25 seconds

you want to look for T5HO flouro bulbs with a 6000 to 6500 K rating. great growth without the excessive algae that come with halides and LED systems that go up to 10,000K or higher.

pls pls and PLEASE !!!

tell me that does halogen give the right requirement for aqua plant too ??

@shadowfaithx Not a good choice, too hot and not an ideal spectrum. Stick to fluorescents in most cases.

@boorgvids sry , but i've proved that Halogen with UV actually speed up my plant x3 in growth and more greener ~~

i choosen halogen because it has the same ray as sun ^^

What substrate are you using here? I just bought a substrate called black diamond that looks like this one. Now, I'm kind of new to this business and I don't know if I should mix the substrate with ... larger rocks or something. The thing is that I don't think the plants can root strongly enough to it.

@chizpa305 Eco-Complete, there is some Black Diamond under it... check out the link in the info box for more details on the tank and camera setup.

That is one of my favorite aquarium plant. I planted my 5 gallons Fluval Chi aquarium with them and I am waiting for them to spread through the entire area. I don't have any CO2 injection system on it and the lights are not that bright. but even tough they take a long time to spread, at least the plants look healthy.

Nice video!!
