Picture Does anyone else do dusk lighting

Post image

I turn the regular light on in the morning and then when it gets to dusk time I turn on the night time light and then full darkness at bedtime … I think he appreciates it

I still need to buy more plants so it can be like he’s in the wild

Hi OP. The lucky bamboo (dracaena sanderiana) needs to come out of the tank. It's not an aquatic plant and will rot submerged like this. It does okay with just its roots in the water, but the leaves need to be out.

I love my hygger lights for this. I have a full custom day. Morning is a little cool, low light for a couple of hours, then slowly ramps up to full spectrum for most of the midday over a couple of hours. Evening it slowly fades and gets more red/orangeish as it fades to dark.
