Plant Profiles

Per-species notes: measured light at that position, growth habit, and observed color.

Planned

Purpose

To pair each species in the tank with the light actually measured at its position, so placement decisions can be reviewed against data rather than recalled impressions.

Background

Published light figures per species are scarce and rarely given as numbers. What this tank can contribute is the measured PPFD at a known position alongside the observed performance of the plant there over months. That is not a biological requirement, but it is evidence.

Methodology

  1. Record the measured PPFD at each plant's position from the standing survey.
  2. Photograph the same plant under matched camera settings over time.
  3. Note moves and the measured light before and after.

Observations

Nothing established yet. Observations are added when there is something specific to report, not to fill the section.

Scope

  • Working range used for each species and where it came from
  • Observed performance in this tank at the measured light level
  • Placement decisions and what was moved

This page is planned. It is listed so the intended shape of the reference is visible.
