I want to start adding plants to my aquarium, but the more I read about lighting the more confused/frustrated I get. I don't know if I need to buy a whole new fixture, or just a new bulb, or if my current lighting is enough for the average/common in-store plants. but here is what I have.
on the bulb it says:
8,000 K
17w
T8
24"
on the fixture:
30" fluorescent
120 volt - 20 watt - 60 hz
misc info:
tank - 36 bow front
substrate - 3 inches pool filter sand
depth to sand: about 17"
I plan to do DIY CO2, already have some root tabs, just need help with the lighting!
