Dwarf Hair grass - Aquarium Advice

Hello all!

Quick question: Will my coralife 28w T5 fixture over a 20g high be enough to supplement a carpet of dwarf hair grass in a tank with gravel 0.4-0.9 cm wide? I am dosing liquid ferts once or twice a week and I use a DIY Co2 generator.

should be able to keep it alive. but i wouldnt expect it to take off and start growing like crazy

oh wow, I also have a 20g high tank with coralife 24 watt T-5 lighting, and I was thinking of getting dwarf hairgrass also.

oh neat! that's a little less lighting but most people are saying it could grow, but only very slowly in my tank.

yeah I know, what plants do you have in there right now?

honestly, I don't know their names. mgamer20o0 sold a plant package to me of anonymous low-medium light plants. you could ask him if you want to know, or you could take a look at my other "20 gallon planted tank update" thread and see for yourself
