Hey folks, I'm getting ready to set up a little 10G planted in my sons room and wanted to ask a quick lighting question. I'm going to be using eco-complete, sloped up on one side and am going to grow a carpet of Dwarf Sag ( other ? ) and a clump of Alternanthera reineckii ( or something Red ) planted maybe 1/2 way up the 'hill' so it's closer to the light with a couple of Dragon stones thrown in for hardscape.
What light would be good for this set-up? I want to keep it low tech so he can take care of it !! I have a Finnex ray 2 on my hi-tech tank and I love it, but not sure if that's too bright for a smaller tank. Current Satellite is an option but I know nothing other than what I've read......I could probably go up to $125.00
I'm trying to drop/ not think about everything I do in my hi tech set up, CO2, Crazy fert regiments, etc....and want to keep it simple for an 11 year old !!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Also other plant recommendations are welcomed too, not hard and fast on my selection either. Again, my hi tech tank has like seven different plants in it, but it's a much bigger tank. I think the smaller tank would benefit from just two maybe three types of plants.
