Hey swords, is there a difference in the amount of light used if it's natural light? I ask because a possible location for the tank is in a corner of a room in the house that is in front of and next to two windows: one faces south, the other west. It gets direct sun at various times throughout the day, blocked in mid-afternoon by a large pine tree. The problem is that it's an old house and the closest outlet is across the room, so I would be depending on natural light as the sole source.
Would this be suitable for growing amps? My assumption is that since the PAR and intensity of natural light blows artificial light out of the water, than various amounts of it throughout the day would provide it with plenty of photosynthetic energy, but preferring shade in the wild, wouldn't be too much. However, you guys are the ones with the experience, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
