Plants

Hi guys!
I am wondering which plant I can grow in this light. I made this light using led stripes.

I am going to put two gbr and some small tetras and maybe some snails.

It's hard to tell from just looking at the photo. How far is it from the lights to the gravel's surface?

Lights appear to be very blu-ish.
Do you have any specs of the LEDs you used (wattage, color, etc)?

Color looks 10,000+ K. Plants generally tend to grow best in 6500k, not to say it won't work tho. It's worth trying.

Yes, not trying to dissuade you from using it. Just trying to find more info. IMO the blue has a "cold" appearance.
Also, that quote in post #6 is from 2002...weird.

I just bought package of low light plants. Hope I can keep them alive.

Those all look good except the hair grass might struggle without intense lighting and co2.
