I have a 16 gallon tank lightly planted, just put 2 anacharis bunches in the back, light is 18 watt, 10000k, regular gravel mixed with eco-complete
from what I researched this should be good enough for anacharis, would that be correct? how long should I keep the light on? right now I have it set for 10 hours of light a day
I have several plants in front as you can see in the photo, got them from a local fish store, can anybody identify them? I've had them for about 2 months now and they seem to be doing ok
brown spots on the leaves are from brown algae that you get with a new aquarium it's finally going away now
another thing about plants what is with petsmart selling mondo grass? I bought it from them because they assured me it was a fully aquatic plant only to find out later that it's not. They even have it fully submerged at the store and sell it right out of a tank.
What is the point of selling a plant that is going to die in a month or so if put in an aquarium? I'm not even mad because it was less than $2 but how does it make business sense to do that and how are they able to keep this going? boggles the mind
