Great video! Thanks for your content, it has helped me a lot ❤️❤️

Thank you so much! Makes me super happy to hear that 😁

Ramp times are good for the fish. They don't have eyelids. Fewer of them end up crispy on the carpet when they don't suddenly get blasted with strong light every morning.

Appreciating the science behind your videos! Great job! By the way, I was wondering if you can clarify something for me. In the video about red plants you mentioned plants using more of the blue spectrum. But in this video you settings seem to be more red. If I just want to help the plant become red and not just look red visually, what will the light settings be?

[@KalemsFishtanks]

So the blue spectrum is used for blue/purple plants like buce. For it to actually become more red Its all about the strength of the light. I would still use a high amount of red spectrum but add more blue and green light so that the other plants in the tank look the colour they are supposed to as well. That make sense?

ensure your red plants have proper nutrients, in particular iron.

Hi Kalem, I found your video whilst researching the vivid ii light for my bucephalandra tank and was wondering if you have had any problems with it. Nice 2011 ghost btw! I have some upper ghost and 2015 ghost but the 2011 is so expensive here I haven't bought any... Yet : )

[@KalemsFishtanks]

Honestly dont have any problems with it at all. Thought hard for 5 or 10 minutes and cant really think of anything 😅

Hello, I have a basin measuring 60 * 40 * 40 cm, what are the color settings for it? I will grow Rotala rotundifolia sp 'Green', Rotala rotundifolia 'H'ra and Elocharis acicularis mini, thank you.

[@KalemsFishtanks]

I forget the exact light settings but they should be in the video

[@theprimal9627]

How much is your power percentage and color temp settings ? Thanks

[@KalemsFishtanks]

Dont remember the power % but currently its 100% blue and red and 60% green or light blue

[@nahimbello3272]

how are you friend i like your aquarium what configuration do you have in your living regards!

[@KalemsFishtanks]

If you mean lighting. It was 100 red 60 green and 80 blue

[@nahimbello3272]

@@KalemsFishtanks thanks friend! My doubt is how they make it really look white and take out the red colors because in your video the lighting is seen at 6500k

[@alecthenice8115]

Looks a lot different than other lights to my eyes

[@KalemsFishtanks]

It definitely does very bright and the red leds are very strong!

[@qifry5367]

how to have 100 red and not make the aquarium not natural in colour

[@KalemsFishtanks]

All about balancing it with the blues and greens
