Looking at the Substrate of your Tank it looks quite new. How old is your Tank. How long has it been running!!!

[Meljan]

[LCornelius]

How deep is your tank?

 

[Meljan]

450 mm

 

[LCornelius]

Ok, so you are running 4 tubes. 2 blue and 2 white?

 

[Meljan]

No there is only 2 tubes one white one blue

 

[LCornelius]

No there is only 2 tubes one white one blue

That is way to little light for a nennie!!

You will need to upgrade asap!

Maxspect razor on special from jungle aquatics and bryan will give you great service

 

[Meljan]

Thanks will contact them

 

[LCornelius]

300 litres

MH lighting will give you heat issues without a chiller.
LEDs will be a great option if you are willing to spend a little cash.

T5 lighting will also work with the nennie because of your shallow tank.
Get at least 4 white and 4 blue.
