Just got a light, is it okay

[Bl414]

Happy easter everybody

Just bought a clamp on light from walmart and a cfl bulb.
Bulb is 26w 6500k

Was wondering if this would be enough for my tank, gonna do some low and medium light plants.

Tank is a 10g

 

[Yeahitstrue]

I'd say it'd be enough only for low plants, not medium.

 

[Bl414]

Should I move it closer to the tank?

That deep of a tank, poor reflector... It won't grow much imo.

 

[Bl414]

You think so? I couldn't find Anything that would fit it and I'd rather not spend over 100 on this tank, saving for a 55

 

[fort384]

I do think so. Give it a try though. You may prove me wrong!

 

[Bl414]

Alrite man, what plants should I try out?

Gonna go all out on the bigger tank, definitely some t5ho's, doubt any co2 or anything though

Try stuff attached to wood. It'll keep it up from the bottom of the tank.

Anubias
Java fern
Java moss.

A big sword plant can also work. Expect it to grow leaves all the way up the tank.
