Richard, thanks for the tips. My next question is how would I go about
putting more light in this smallish tank? I do have some heat lamp
fixures for my geckos that I no longer use (I switched to heat pads
since they are ground dwellers). I suppose I could go get a 20 or
30watt day incandecent heat bulb. Would that work? of course I'd rather
go flourescent, but its such a small tank...


You're not going to get anywhere with incandescent, it's pretty
much useless for growing aquarium plants.

They make screw in fluorescents in daylight color as well as the
standard warm white. This gives you a lot of flexability since
they'll screw into any fixture that will take an incandescent.

So yo canuse a desk lamp or whatever you have lying around or
can scrounge.
