Lighting Top surface of the tank is covered by plants so much more lighting then normal is needed. Because of that, I used four 18 watt Gro-Lux fluorescent bulbs. Sometimes according to needs one or two of the bulbs are closed. Lighting period is 14 hours in a day. To prevent algae at noons only one of the bulbs are left open for 3 hours.

Filtration Eheim 2213 External filter.
