Found this forum a few days ago and it's been helping me a lot.
Bought a 40 gallon tank kit from Big Al's over a month ago and have been very happy with it. We did have three casualties mainly due to new tank syndrome and for not reading more information about freshwater tank. Learned my lesson the hard way.
I'm happy to inform everyone that my tank is now cycled, water status is stable and all 28 inhabitants are live and well.
I was able to score some java moss. A portion of it is sitting in my driftwood for about a week and the other portion is a DIY java moss carpet. I know they are low-light plants.
I have 6700k T5 lighting that came with the kit. Do I have enough lighting to grow java moss? If not, can someone recomment a DIY or an inexpensive (less than $100) replacement?
Looking forward on hearing your suggestions.
