    Bill, I just realized you made that post at earlier, I didn't notice before. Sorry, doctor's appointment. Anyways, that means moss will ever turn green under T8s?

    Moss will even turn green under t8's. In fact, it will turn green under cfl bulbs as well. The cfl and t8's would emit the same amount of light that would be considered shade outdoors

    I think lighting is one of the least understood aspects of vivariums. You start talking Led's and t5ho and people lose their minds thinking you're blasting your tank with full blown sunlight, but that is so much farther from the truth than most people realize

    I'm one of those people. I'd buy a beamswork, but unemployed college students don't make much money! It's easier to just buy 10 dollar temporary lights than spend a bunch of money on one light. At least for now. XD

    Instead of wasting hard earned cash on a fixture here, and a fixture there, save the cash for one and set it aside, when you have the cash for another, set it aside. Very soon you'll have that killer light
    Most of my tanks right now are running with t8 shop lights (lowe's $12, bulbs $8) growth is not as fast as it would be with the more intense lights, but I am a patient person lol

    I'm impatient and indecisive! You can tell by how many times this tank has changed. XD I posted every change on here. This is my last light fixture before the big one. These lights, other than the T8s, will probably go to my 10 gallon aquarium!

    I changed my light fixtures every couple of months before finally listening to Bill and getting the beamswork. I wasted so much money before that! Not just on the fixtures, but the bulbs too! My plants are much happier and I don't have to change bulbs or worry about heat coming off my fixtures etc.

    Anyone think I can just keep the stream with a little mud in it? I honestly like how it looks more now that it's muddy. The mud isn't from the soil, at least most it isn't, it's from the gravel I used. I use all purpose gravel from Lowes. One of the intended uses is fish ponds. I used this stuff in my aquarium and had no troubles, though I rinsed out all the mud.

    Yup, I'd leave it. It looks more natural that way. I never leave my water features pristine. Nature is far from pristine lol
