[freedom593]

Hello,

I have a 60 cm Wrgb2 pro light. Can you answer my questions about the light?

Tank Information

1-60x40x40 cm dimensions

2-It was installed 3 weeks ago.

3-Co2 is given for 24 hours. ph :5.7 GH:3 KH:0

4-Ada amazonia soil is available.

5-Plants Rotala sahyadrica,Rotala blood red,helferi,ar mini,monte carlo,tonina fluviatilis,ludwigia super red

My Questions

1-Is my current light setting good or should I change it? (White:50 Red:60 Green:50 Blue:40) 7 hours on, 30 minutes sunrise and sunset

2-My light is hanging 18 cm above the tank with its hanging apparatus. Do I need to change it?

WRGB II Pro 60 is strong for your 60x40x40cm tank.
You need to low the light intensity, like around 20% for each color. Add 3%-5% each week for growth.
15-30cm from light to water surface, you can slightly hang it higher.

Thanks for your answer.

The light power seems low to me. What should be my final goal that I will increase every week?

If you think it's not bright you can use the preset mode like Red, Green...
Or set around 60% after the first trim.
