Ok I'm a newbie to planted tanks and I have read all the stickys and articles on plants and what they need.
I always thought you needed to replace the fixture if you were to grow plants and having to buy minerals and nutrients mixture to grow such things. I thought it was an expensive task.
But I was looking around one day and saw a topic created by lonewolf, which you can read here http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=84332
And I see that his 10 gallons have normal hoods. So I'm guessing its a Low Lighting tank with plants.
And right now I have a 29 gallon That I'm preparing, *DAMN MTS* and also a 10 Gallon which I've recently put sand in, to see what it would look like before I put it in the 29 gallon.
But now I want to grow plants in my 10 gallon and see if it something I would be up to.
I'm guessing a low lighting would be best to start out on?
is it a daily task or a weekly task?
I need a new bulb for the 10 gallon anyways.
So what bulb would I need for it?
What would I need interms of supplies/equipment to grow such plants?
What plants would be best for me?
Any advice is welcome.
Thx
