Having trouble finding a dual t8 fixture
green temple is the plant the person said opens up and closes?
ThatPetPlace.com has a selection of dual T8 lights. Here is one from Coralife. I think 24" fixture would work on a 20g. $34.28

Hey cool thanks I will look into buying that one. It comes with two different bulbs one I'm guessing is for the plants. I'll have to measure my lid to make sure its 24"
Yeah that's what he said be said he want sure if that was what it was but its looks close he said.
someone figured it out.
Hygophilia
Hygophilia is green temple and it can not stand straight up and support it's own weight out of water as you said this plant could. Therefore it is not Hygophilia.
I hate dual threads and posted on the other one to Zim. I've been working with plants for a very long time and one of the best ways to tell the difference between bog/land plants and aquatic plants is that true aquatic plants can't support their weight out of the water (with the exception of anubia) whereas bog/land plant are able to stand and retain their height/shape and are rigid. Aquatic plants don't need to have rigid stems or leaves as water supports them and keeps them boyant.
Ahhh okay my mistake. You are a wealth of information aren't you?! Thanks, Thats pretty interesting, well after looking up some stuff I'm nearly positive I have hygro corymbosa or compacta and it can support its weight, just to add to your list haha. And op that's my suggestion, hygro corymbosa is pretty neat.
