Hi! My first post on this great forum...

I´m going to rescape my 86 g/325 l aquarium and make it into a low-tech planted tank (its a blackwater biotope at the moment). The lightning is only 2x36 watt T8 and I´m going to have Crypts, ferns, anubias and mosses. Substrate will probably be Aqua Soil Malaya or another nutrient-rich substrate and I´m not going to use CO2. Should i upgrade the lightning to 4x36 watt T8?
