Thumbs up New member/planted tank
Hi all!

I'm just starting my first planted tank. I've got a 20 high, Fluval U2, 50 watt heater, CO2, Eco Complete substrate, Glo 2x24 watt lamp. Right now there's a mess of swords, anubias, grasses and mosses in there, but we'll see how it goes!

Hi Jack.

I also use a Glo 2x24w light unit on my 14 gallon planted tank. Seems to work great for me... I can just about grow even the most demanding species of plants. Hope it works same for you.

Nice! What kind of tank is that? And what's that in the front right of the aquarium looking like an air pump?
