Hi all-
I haven't been satisfied with my plant growth in my low-tech 10g, so I wanted to make sure that my lighting was sufficient. I have two 20W 5000k Fluorescent Spiral Bulbs in an Incandescent fixture with no reflector. (There was a metal reflector in the fixture, but it the bulbs wouldn't fit with it in.)
I currently have Cabombas, Anubias Barteri, Anubias Nana, Dwarf Hairgrass, Water Sprite, and Micro Sword Narrow Leaf in the tank. The Cabombas seem to be getting stalky, and the Dwarf Hairgrass doesn't seem to be spreading. I have Searchem Flourite as a fert.
Thanks for any help!
