Any low light to med light plant recommendation?

[saltwaterbeginners]

I have a 50 gallon tank with medium sized gravels any recommendation? Looking for low light to med light the plant should be for beginners. I am also getting new lighting but didn't decided what to get. Any lighting for a 50 gallon tank?
Thanks!!

Easiest plant I own is Java Fern. Tie it to wood, rock or decor and it should grow.

As for lighting, what's the length of your tank? A single or dual t5ho (oddysea or other cheap brand) would be effective and not break the bank. It'd also give you the option of growing most plants out there besides the more demanding ones.

finnex planted plus or current sat + should work..

looks good, as long as it's the one with reds/greens/blues or rgb's.. Briannano uses them and has ridiculously awesome tanks..

Why do I need that colors? I thought I just need a day light and night light.

my understanding is the full color spectrum will benefit the plants..

What kind of plant should I get? I am a beginner.

Start with some swords, anubias, maybe a rotala roundfula , crypts wendtii, and a nice low plant like narrow leaf chain sword!!

Right now? Or get the light first?

My 29 and 20 tall

 

[saltwaterbeginners]

I love ur set ups.

 

[Brookster123]

Thanks! They're both a work in progress, I actually just bought a finnex planted plus for the 20 tall! I really like, it already seems to be making a difference!

Would the current sat plus not push the op into at least medium light?? Where a co2 source and ferts would be required

were getting there man! Try not to overload the op, there's a whole lot that goes into a planted tank as I'm sure you well know haha
