Yes but see that's the problem I can't seem to find it in stock anywhere

Any specific brands or nah

So I want to start getting my feet wet with dirted tanks on a 5.5 gal that currently sits in the corner of my room with nothing substantial in it. I have done some research and people keep recommending Miracle Grow Organic Choice Potting Mix...

Thanks for the list, I'll have to check some of those out. I thought about T8s, since that's what I'm using now, but I'd rather get something more energy efficient that I won't have to replace yearly

Aight. Do you know of any options that would work with out the dimmer for my purposes?

Do you know what the dimmer brings it down to?

Do you have any models you'd recommend for lower light plants?

Get plants that do well in low light. Anubias and Java moss are good. Also java fern. You could use a gravel substrate and use root tabs. Or eco complete topped with gravel and some root tab supplement. Im planning on switching over my 55 from gravel to that bc it's good for plants

Honestly it still looks pretty dank. What are you planning on stocking it with?

So I'm currently at college and I have a 5.5 gal with 3 fancy guppies, a juvenile bristle-nose pleco, and some anubias and java moss. I will be going home for the summer soon, and I was wondering if it would be feasible to transport it with the fish in place. My plan is to keep the tank full...
