Help planning planted aquarium

[Richardwm]

Currently I have a 25 gal tall tank. I am running a fluval c3 hob filter. I just bought a new t5 fixture with ho capabilities currently it has 2 24 w t5 6500k lights in it. I have the capability for co2 injection.

With this being said what kind of plants could I plant my tank is 48" tall.

Any help is appreciated.

Wow... can I see a picture of the tank? Do my eyes deceive me? 48" tall?!? That's a super tall tank! What is it a column tank or something?

I hope it's a misprint. Getting light to the bottom of a 48" deep tank would be a pain.

Yeah it has to be... I wouldn't even be able to plant that deep. LOL

That lighting will allow you to grow most any plants except some of the high light carpet plants. In my one 55g with a 2 bulb T5HO fixture I grow most of the same plants I do in my very high light 220 and they do still get decent color even. I do use Geisemann bulbs which I believe helps.

Sounds great. And i will look into that brand of bulb to thanks.
