Aquarium Advice Regular
Followed up on the CO2 or No CO2 post and I need more watts to run my CO2. Question is, after researching there are a great many types of bulbs. Is a bulb that is just for plants ok as longs as it is aquarium safe?
I currently have 30 watts in an 18 gallon tall. Looking at getting a 30 watt bulb with the current 15 watt (Eclipse 1 hood with 2 bulbs) That will give me 2.5 wpg. I want to add some more plants. I have one amazon sword and 2 micro swords. They are doing OK not great, just ok. I had concerns with iron but have been using leaf zone and that has iron. Some leaves are getting transparent. Any help is always great.
Also, my daughters tank in a 10 gal and she had a hood with a "Regular" bulb type light. Is there any lights that I can put in there to let her try out some plants.
