Does this sound good?
What foods?

This sounds exactly the same as your first post in this thread except with a smaller tank. Considering the stock list was almost unequivocally stated unacceptable for a 55G why oh why do you think a 46G will suddenly make it acceptable?

Over filtering may allow you to over stock slightly but it won't allow you to have fish too big for your aquarium. Dwarf hair grass won't grow in the light you talk about. Check out liveaquaria.com or aquariumplants.com for plants. Since you're insisting on having a leaf fish, knife fish and a bichir I would suggest only keeping those in your tank without anything else so you can give them more space.

Ok what carpet plant do you suggest?

Ok what carpet plant do you suggest?

I don't. To get a carpet in larger tanks you need high output lights and usually have to introduce co2. I had DHG in my 20g with no co2 and medium/medium-high lighting and it took a couple months for it to send out only a couple runners. It never died, but didn't grow much either.

Oh... There goes that idea...

Sorry dude, if you can beef up your lights you may have a decent chance at growing some micro sword, but it will take a while to carpet

How strong are the LED's that come with the 46g euro tank at petsmart.com?

How strong are the LED's that come with the 46g euro tank at petsmart.com?

Probably not strong enough but I don't know the exact specs. Even the marineland double brights aren't very bright, I would look into a t5ho is you want a good carpet, or a t5 normal output if you can be patient
