What you need to know! Balance Balancing light, nutrients, water chemistry, water flow, and biological for healthy fish and plants. LIGHT LEVELS. Light levels depend on what light fixture you use, how tall your aquarium is, what plants you want to grow, and what fits your budget. Most aquariums come as a set with standard flourescent lighting. These lights have very poor reflectors, and very low watts and light output. I recommend at least 2-3 watts per gallon for most planted aquariums that are of standard height (18-24 inches) and where you want to be able to grow plants with beautiful colors and variety.
