I started a 20 gal CO2 injected (DIY) planted tank about 3 weeks ago and I've been monitoring water chemistry and plant growth very carefully. There are currently no fish in the tank, althought I will add some later to get it cycling properly. The substrate is layered. 2:1 perlite:soil + a...

Hello, How often do most of you change your CF bulbs? I've got some of the long 55W & 65W bulbs that I've been using for about 8 months. I'm starting to suspect a measureable decrease in light output from the changes I'm seeing in my tank. Maybe I'm just paranoid... Thanks!
