My 10G grow-out tank... - Aquarium Advice

Lonewolfblue · 01-13-2007, 10:07 PM

Well, herre's my planted 10G tank, trying to grow out a few new plants to be transferred to my larger tanks. Would like to get them going here, then move clippings to my other tanks. Here's some pics....

I also added other new plants to my 29G as well, and will post those pics probably tomorrow, after I do a little more maintenance on that tank.

You definitely have a lot of different colors and shapes. I can't wait for them grow out!

EDIT: you may want to remove any damaged leaves from that sword. The plant will waste energy trying to repair it.

Yes please! Any information would be appreciated.

I got mine at Walmart when they had them. But they no longer have them at the Walmart here any more. But I heard others said that Walmart is now carrying the GE 6500k screw ins, so I need to get down there to see if they have them yet here.

like in the light section or in the fish section? because my fish section has the 10 watt cf but I want higher light!

Lonewolfblue · 01-14-2007, 12:16 AM

In the regular light section. Just make sure they say 6500k on them.
