I tried growing some low light plants in my 46 gal bow front with the hood and light that came with the tank and no other efforts (no CO2, sand substrate, ferts etc),
The corkscrew vals died in a week, but the Anubias are hanging on (barely).
So here's what I did, and I'll hope you'll tell me it will work or what I might do instead. I ordered:
1) Current USA 36" Nova Extreme T-5 Fixture 2x39W 10Kand Freshwater 6500k (2 Bulb)
2) pellet ferts from aquariumplants.com
3) more anubias
4) more corkscrew vals (would really like them to work out in the background)
5) a java fern
6) a crypt walkeri
7) a clown pleco to clean up some of the algae growing on the anubias
For these relatively easy and lower light plants, do I have a combo here to succeed? I want to make this as simple as possible.
