Aquarium Advice FINatic
I have a 30 gal long tank with a 20 watt light, for a WPG of 0.666666666666 etc. (lol).
Is it even worth it to pursue planting at this light level? If so, what are good, fairly available plants for background, midground, and foreground? My tank is only about a foot in width so I don't have much room front-to-back, but I've got 4 feet of lateral space to play with.
I would really like something that flowers (low light anubias? I don't know), and some plants of contrasting colors. Plants that grow like weeds would not be the most preferable.
Also, at this light level, is there a big difference between complete, nutrient-rich substrates, and inert substrates with root tabs?
I don't want to go CO2.
Thanks for any advice!
