    Good day

    Just want to know what lights will be fine for my 30l planted tank.

    I have 2 of each of the following cfl globes. 2x 14w 6500k and 2x 20w 6500k, should I use the 14w or the 20w and for how long should they be on in a day?

    It is not that heavily planted.
    Using a ista bell type defuser
    Using seachem flourish twice a week
    I do a 25% water change once every week.

    Plants are

    Java fern
    Java moss
    Hc
    Lilaeopsis.

    Thanks

    Hein

    I run my tank about 4 hours per day. But I have 54Watts and 108 Watts going at a time. But then again I have a 250l tank...
