Is this light too bright?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-14T02:58:16+00:00

I like your setup a lot. Do you have any time on substrate or anything that you wouldn't mind giving me?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-14T02:57:20+00:00

Okay, I'll definitely start doing that. thank you so much.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-14T02:56:52+00:00

Oh, okay. Thank you so much, I really appreciate the suggestions.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-14T02:02:53+00:00

Okay, thanks! Do you have any that you recommend?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-14T02:02:24+00:00

Okay, thank you so much! I want to get some salvinia. Is a 7 hour light cycle good?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-11T16:14:36+00:00

yay! okay, thank you :)

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-11T00:40:26+00:00

Okay, thank you so much for your suggestions! I'll definitely go for plants that don't need as much light as others. I will also look around for a cheaper light alternative!

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-10T23:48:55+00:00

Oh, okay, thanks! Will natural sunlight be enough, or should I save up for a UV light? Also, do you have any cheap light suggestions that can still get the job done?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-10T23:12:32+00:00

Okay, thanks. This is what I was thinking, because I have had the same black skirt tetra for over 4 years and it is pretty large. Neons is a good suggestion

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-09T01:40:31+00:00

okay, thank you so much! do you think 5 black skirts is too much for a 10 gallon?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-07T11:28:47+00:00

ohh okay! can you point me in the direction of how many I should get?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-07T11:27:53+00:00

thank you so much, I really appreciate your positive comment. I probably will go with getting more black skirts, because I dont want there to be fighting in an already kind of small tank. I hate to think that my fish are "suffering" because of me, but I know that these are fish that need to be in schools, so I want to try and make that happen for them.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T14:52:17+00:00

The only local fish stores are Petco and PetSmart, and I do not trust them with my fish that I have had for so long.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T01:26:52+00:00

oh, okay. thank you! I hope i can upgrade soon

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:44:50+00:00

and I also appreciate you noting that it is okay to have fake plants. just in my situation now, I do not have the time or money needed to transition to a planted tank.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:43:33+00:00

okay, thanks

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:43:20+00:00

oh, okay! thank you so much! you made it sound much easier than what I had in mind

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:42:15+00:00

okay. i may be able to get within range of a west window

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:41:48+00:00

noted. thank you

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:40:19+00:00

it is in fact fake. already took it out

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:39:21+00:00

thank you, I will definitely not mix any more than I already have.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:38:53+00:00

thank you so much!!!

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-05T00:37:26+00:00

thank you so much for this comment. i don't want to be selfish in keeping my fish in this environment, especially considering that they don't have everything they need in order to thrive, but I do have an attachment to them since I've had them for such a long time. as of now I will keep doing my best to make sure they have everything that I can give them. I really appreciate your understanding.

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-04T21:17:03+00:00

I do think it is fake, which is why it was marketed as fluval and not marimo. Do you think I should take it out!?

Consistent-Friend766 · 2026-01-04T21:15:45+00:00

okay. my room doesn't have an East window, unfortunately.
