Hello all,
I have had my tank up and running for well over a month. It cycled about a week ago and I added a few fish and 2 frogs. I did have two plants in there but I noticed they were turning brown. I'm figuring my lighting is inadequate. I have a waterhome 20 tank I bought second hand off someone. It is despite its number 20 a 15 gallon tank. It has a light glo hood with an aqua glow 15W fluorescent bulb. I don't know how old this tank is or how many hours the light has been used. I'm wondering if it safe to put in a higher wattage bulb? If so what is recommended? Will I overload my hood? Any help would be great because I want to add more plants and not have them turn brown.
Thanks in advance
