RE: [aquaplant study] lighting on march 7	Scott Weintraub

Thanks for making this happen, Erik. The study group was a very well spent half hour and I look forward to the next one. As a follow up from the macro group, I have been trying to find potassium sulfate from the local nurseries but have been striking out. Does anyone know of a source in the East Bay? All the plant nurseries say that our soil has plenty of potassium, so nobody needs to fertilize for it. Even the hydroponic places I called didn't have anything. It was easy to find the phosphate source :) Thanks again, and see you all next time. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: Erik Leung [mailto:er-@e-aquaria.com] Sent: Monday, February 17, 2003 6:39 PM To: detr-@topica.com Subject: RE: [aquaplant study] lighting on march 7 Thanks much for the feedback Cliff. There are definitely lots of lighting options out there... and more light necessitates a little more attention to nutrient & C02 conditions. Higher-light tanks are a bit more work to maintain, at least initially. But the results can be fantastic. We'll do lighting at the March 7 meeting!

I think people need help in figuring out whether they need strong lighting and dosing. I've cut light to 1 watt per gallon and a lot of cool plants still grow, and no more algae problems. In the room the tank looks nicer now that it's not so blazingly bright. Thanks for doing the study group...there seems to be a lot of interest. Cliff
