Lighting, whats the best?

[Mommaof4boys]

I have a little 10 gallon tank, one of my lights just blew and my lid says 15 watts or less... now... I'm wanting to add a few live plants in there and was wondering what kind of lighting is ideal for low light plants?? My hood has two long bulbs btw, not just one bulb!

I would use 15w cfl bulbs. Put 2 in and you will have 30 watts of light. Just make sure you get daylight bulbs should be Around 6500k rating. That will give you 3 watts per gallon shock is enough for low and moderate light plants

I typed "which" I don't know how autocorrect changed it to shock!
