I am using PL light (40-45 watt) and Ikea those (orange) cheap lamp. I don't on the light 24/7, when view then it is on.

4.5X2X2.5 tank with IOUS ohf.

I will let seniors here to confirms if he is a blue based.

bro, how many hours do u on the light? do u on the light in the most time?

i got confuse of boosting sparkle on 5th scale, shud light be on 24hours, or on for only several hours.

i forget to say, be careful with that bog wood inside.

when your aro anger raises, he will chase the tankmates/ feeder. there is chance to crash the bog wood.

my tank ever got bog wood, but now I have removed it for safer environment. U dunno when aro anger will expode. just better safe than sorry, some damage that cause aro got wounded, damaged barbel or scale, it is not worth it.

just IMHO based on my experience and advice from seniors. but if you sure your aro is very peaceful, it is no problem then.

I did not monitor how long I on the light. But, I can confirmed it is not long, as mentioned I only on the light when viewing.

Thanks for the reminder, may consider of removing it. Btw, I used to have many driftwoods in the tank, I have alr removed quite a lot.

When light is off, my room lights are also off, it is dark.

I am fine with those questions, I am worry I can't give good advice.
