So I’m a bit disappointed with my current light set up - two Smatfarm G3 60w fixtures over my 40g breeder. Par levels are okay, not great, but I need to essentially max them out, which makes the lighting very white. Theres also a lot of shadows. My main concern is that my haddoni gets enough light. It’s been growing slowly and hasn’t moved which makes me think the light is enough, and that I should probably just just get a blue bar to supplement what I have already. So I guess my questions are three fold:
1. Is it worth considering upgrading my existing lights?
2. Am I better off just getting supplemental blue lights to even out shadows and change colors
3. If my biggest concern is the nem, is there a very narrowly focused spotlight out there that I could get for it? This would in theory let me turn the whites down on the existing lights and achieve more blue that way
