This is directed towards hydroponic growing...What rate to add to 5 gallon stock tank? Will it work with a lettuce, Asian greens, and herb crop?

I use it at a rate of one teaspoon per gallon and always get good results. It can be used at much higher concentration, but never seems necessary as it is full of micronutrients, not n, p,k hope that helps.

Yes it will work with lettuce Asian greens, and herbs. add only two pinches of sea 90 per gallon. Don't go any higher or you will burn the plants

I would start off with 1/4 teaspoon per gallon; however, there are a multitude of other questions that need to answered. What is your ppm target? EC target? How often do you refill your reservoir? Is your water temperature optimum? Is your water temperature constant or does it fluctuate a lot? Remember you are adding salts, so don't over do it or over apply. When I was growing, I would add 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water and feed my plants approx. 1/2 gallon of the solution(along with other additives added to the solution) once a week. Ok to use with most greens I would imagine.

I would rcommend their Ray 2 for a tank that deep if your are going to raise plants. I use one on a 37 gallon high with 24" depth. it is a planted tank, medium light, NO CO2 but do use Exel carbon suppliment. Works well with very little algae. I also use use a FugeRay on a 10 gallon planted that is 12" deep. Don't use chemicals on that one and use an 8 hour daylight length. Two FugeRays would probably work but a single Ray 2 would be my choice. Either way, the lights are reliable and provide me with the best planted tanks I have ever had.

Yea, it will do that running at low rpm. It is not super fast as the throat is not large enough to stuff large quantities quickly, but it will not have a problem with Green plant matter.

Yes. I am using it in a five gallon reservoir that recirculating water in my hydroponic system. It was supplying air to 10 ea - 3.5 gallon hydroponic buckets.

I have a 75 gallon tank with heavy plants. I have been using this light along with an extra strip light for six months now and the plants are growing just fine. The extra strip light is from the same manufacturer as this one, just a single strip of LED's. I have not tried just this light by itself But it wouldn't surprise me if it worked ok with low light plants.

I am not familiar with bubbleponics but I have not had any problems like that with my hydroponic tank. The powder quickly dissolves. If you are concerned about this, you could mix it in a small container of water and then pour it in

Yes. I normally add one oz. per gal. of water. If it is mature weeds you may want to go up to 2oz. per gal.

Yes just be sure to buy the trio for soil not hydroponic and also yes there is a feeding schedule with this set that gives a full feeding schedule follow it for successfull grows these fox farms are also organic and very hard to burn or over feed I love them great success for me and the soil trio package is a lil cheaper as well also these ferts will lower soil ph so pick up a bottle of ph up and some ph strips to adjust

I think it would work with plants, but you might need one more light kit. This would give you better light for the whole tank

Its ok for low light plants like anubias or java ferns. I also got some duckweed that thrives. But no co2 needed for those plants :)

I know next to nothing about growing flora in the aquarium except some BS I've read in forums. I have planted a low growing and tall growing pair of plants in my 29 high tank with the appropriate sized model of this light. It is a medium populated community tank and I do not use CO2. I do dose daily with Flourish Excel. My plants appear to be doing well and some new sprouts have developed and are growing. I will take a picture and post it in the user pictures portion.

I don't know about that...I don't think it would work, I use mine for air plants & they are thriving.

This is based on my use for Daylily Rust. General rate is 2 Teaspoons per gallon. But, that will depend on the disease and the plant. My best suggestion is to contact the manufacturer "TechPac LLC Atlanta Ga. for specific instructions.

I had the same question. The 5 pound container is supposed to cover 3 acres. I took a wild guess and mixed one third of my 5 pound container into my 4 gallon sprayer. This should be enough to cover one acre but I sprayed roughly one half acre with the four gallons which means I was spraying double concentration. I don't mind the overkill but I'm sure that 1/6 of the 5 pound container mixed into my 4 gallon sprayer would have been sufficient. Nothing has sprouted since I sprayed a couple months ago so it seems to be working.

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

Yes it would. I have mine on a 10 gallon tank and the plants are doing great. I have several different types, vals, sprites, banana plants, java fern and crypts. I used it before this tank on a 6 gallon deep tank and it made the plants go nuts in it. I really like the Finnex lights, we have several, Just got a ray plant one for our 125 gal tank to go with a finnex ray II, and it looks so nice, the plants are taking off and their is so much more room on top now since we got rid of the big ol bulky T5 and T8's. Good luch!

I have a 37 gallons planted tank and it's working for me. I'm using all 3 light modules though. So you may want to consider doing the same thing.
