Alright, Hey everyone.
Several times now I have posted threads in which I was looking for help on starting a freshwater tank.
Now, I have a 20g High (I know, long is better!) tank available. I am looking at turning this into a planted tank.
The look I am trying to get is a natural and modern planted tank. Very similar style to the July 2013 Tank of the Month Winner Billbug68's 12g Rimless Tank.
The look of the plants growing on the floor is stunning. This is something I am definitely looking to incorporate.
Now for the questions. I'm not really looking for information on equipment, other then lighting. Nor do I need help in nutrients, cycling, or stocking.
1. - What fixtures, preferably LED, would you recommend? The plan is to keep it a fairly simple medium to low-light planted tank. Would a simple T8 bulb work?
2.- What plants will "carpet" the floor as such.
I'd like to thank everybody in advance!
