I've been reading up on planted tanks as it's something I would really like to do. We are getting a 50 gal in the future and I'm debating having it planted, I want to start out low maintenance and see how it goes.
Problem is, I've been looking around my LPS and although there are tons of plants available not a single one is labeled. Just lots of signs stating "plant, 2 for X" which pretty much just say buy so many for this much, or "buy a betta and a plant for 10 bucks" So I'm left without the slightest clue what on earth I'm looking at. I'd love some low light plant names so I can do some research and see if I can play the matching game at the pet store.
I guess also a quick question, can anyone tell me anything about LED lights?? I'm not sure what lights our 50 will have yet but my 20 came with an LED set up.. It's been years since I had a tank so I've never seen this before and haven't seen any info thus far on my reading about general consensus on LED re plants.
