Aquarium Advice Newbie
So, I am seeing topics on people using 2.5 and 5s for planted tanks. But the way I read the stickies yuo need certan lighting and the regular tube blubs don't cut it. But yet isn't that what these people posting are using? I am seeing them say 8W and such. My tank can use up to 25W, I thought more was better.
I was thinking about diong plants, but drew it out of question with the lighting in such a small tank. Maybe I could just go lowlighted plants. I am extermely new to this. I understand plants a lot. I took Horticultre for 2 years, but know nothing on aquatics. Sorry if my questions seem rather dumb.
So what plants can I use? And what have you or others used in such small tanks? I have a 5gal, what bulb should I purchase?
