What can I have with this bulb? I'm very much so clueless to the whole light thing so... Fill me in please! Sil vous plait

 

[Mumma.of.two]

What bulb/fixture do you have?

 

[zarmalar]

Lol the picture didn't post, sorry

 

[JokerWx13]

how many watts is it (cant see the pic too clearly)? and how big is your tank?

 

[zarmalar]

I have a 29 gal and to be honest I have no idea how many watts. The bulb doesn't say...

 

[Mumma.of.two]

Just the one bulb? Short or tall tank?
IMO moss, anubias and java ferns about it.

 

[zarmalar]

Yup just one bulb and its a 29 tall

So it's super low light. The plants I mentioned above are about all that will live. Oh and floating plants because they are near the light. Duckweed, hornwort, frogbit.

Ok cool, I do have a plant started in my 10 gal. I'm not sure what it is but its doing well in there.

 

[Mumma.of.two]

Apogenton? Does it have a bulb?

 

[zarmalar]

Yes this one has two fifteen watt clear bulbs... Just the regular 10 gal incandecent

Your doing well if it's growing under incandescent bulbs. Swap them out for cfl rated 6500k or ' daylight' and you can grow quite a lot in there.
What I was asking does the plant have a bulb? Did it grow from one? If it did it would be a apogenton of some sort.

Ohhh.. lol yes it did
