IMO light is not strong enough to penetrate through.

Change to T5 6500k will do. I still don't have faith in using led for planting

Imo i dont think is lighting problem, java fern grow well in low light. Maybe you should look into other factors, maybe temperature?

I tested the water
ph 6 Kh1 GH 2 Water too soft Java and Japonica don't do well?don't understand why the Java and abubias turning black. I think my tank a bit too deep for led lighting (former aro tank convert to planted). Maybe I should switch to t5 |
