• Please advise on the lighting.

Good day. I decided to fulfill a small dream of mine, 48*36*40 cm, 63 liters, and I encountered a problem with lighting. Having made a fixture for 6 lamps of 15 watts, I have no idea which lamps to use and in what order to place them. I kindly ask for advice on the order and types of lamps to use, and perhaps even where they can be purchased.

to such a length from the available white without a clue

I made a lamp for 15 watts, but my problem is that I don't know how many white bulbs I need, how many blue, pink, and how to arrange them correctly.

It is recommended to place 2 blue lamps for every 1 white lamp.

I advise not to rush with the reds. I agree with the previous post.

So the sequence is like this? 1) Power-Glo, 2) Aquastar 3) ine-Glo 4) ine-Glo 5) Aquastar 6) Power-Glo

The ATI website has examples of lamp layouts with different quantities. Try to explore there. I have an MG. And the entire layout.

I will already set it to 300L. What is it on the ATI site, the search engine didn't help me?

But I can't seem to find examples of lamp installation on the website, and their relocation...

I would arrange it like this: blue-purple-white-white-purple-blue. Aquastar from Sylvania shines purple, I placed the white at 10K and the blue Coralstar from Sylvania (under them, the corals were fluorescing), ATI lamps are a bit more expensive, many praise them.

I wonder why there is no ATI Actinic in any of the setups.

Amber

I'm a bit confused, Aquastar shines at 10,000K. So what should a white 10K be like?

Put 50% white and 50% blue. You have a new aquarium setup. Purple and actinic will be needed later when invertebrates appear.

If possible, please correct it.
