my 156watts of light, its medium or high?

[umbrellarec]

3.9 watt per gallon. I think it's medium but I am not 100% sure. So far all my tanks have not reached 3 watt per gallon.

I saw good result when i put 12 algae eater in my 40gallons tank. they ate all algae that's grow all over leafs and made all leafs so clean now. Right now im worry about the algae growing on ground.

If the algae eaters help on the leaves. They should be able to help on the ground too with the assumption that it's the same type of algae that the algae eaters will eat. Certain type of algae will not be eaten by certain algae eaters.

My tank is about 40gallons and i have 156watts of light. I keep the light on for 8-10 hours/day but i don't make the water change weekly because when i make the water change about %50 so i have to lose alot of my guppy friend. I just bought 12 algae eater from local store, they cost me about $40 for them. I put 12 algae eater in my tank and after a week i saw good result. The algae eater that i bought they're very small and they can grow up to less than 2inch. They're good for small tanks

Yes, algae eaters will help. I assume you're having ottos

I just changed my 156watts light to 192 watts today, I think 192watts its high light. My BABY TEARS DWARF HC need high like to grow, half of my BABY TEARS DWARF HC its dead by aquarium salt when i put the salt in to my tank to protection my guppys friend.

I use Seachem Potassium & Seachem Phosphorus on weekly basis (amount is following the instruction on the bottles). I only inject Seachem Excel with a syringe directly into the BBA if it strikes my tanks.

Nowadays, I use about 30-36 watt of light for 15 gallon tank (estimate for 2 watt per gallon). The Kelvin of the light also plays a role (google for the correct value coz I cannot remember it). I keep the light on for 8 hours (4 hours on, 2 hours off, 4 hours off and remaining of the day the light is off). CO2 is estimated at about 3 bubbles per second. Weekly partial water changes (about 50% for me. More if required).
