I want to get some plants in my ten gallon but I don't have strong enough lighting on it. What kind of lighting should I get for a ten gallon? What kind of fIxture?
 
What kind of plants? I kept quite a few in my 10g with the stock hood. If it's a flourescent fixture, you'll be limited to low light stuff. If you have an incandescent fixture, you can keep more medium light stuff. If you're wantint to get high light plants, you'll need to purchase a new fixture. It all just depends on what you have and what you want.
 
I want some Cabomba, I believe it's a medium high plant. My lights not are just a regular fluorescent strip.
