And that's my point. When people go and say, oh, you can't grow swords
without
high light and CO2 or you need CO2 to get lush tanks... that's nonsense.

Agreed. Swords are generally very undemanding plants.

The plants that really need high light and CO2 are those "lawn plants" Amano
made so popular. Because they are so short, they're very far away from the
lights. Plus, they're usually in the front of the tank, and most people put
the lights at the back of the tank.
