3WPG, injected CO2, small tank plant selection
I'd recommend some of the small sword plants, like the pygmy chain sword.
Instead of growing tall they will get thick and produce numerous runners. Although it's a difficult plant, Glossostigma elatinoides, will only grow a couple of inches tall, but will create a beautiful lawn/carpet across the bottom of your tank. There are also a couple dwarf sagittaria and crypt species that perhaps someone else can recommend. "Ken" wrote in message om... I've decided to put a 55W compact fluorescent light on my 20 Gal long tank along with CO2 injection. While I'm working on how to go about all of this I also need some ideas for plants. Most of what people say about increased light and CO2 is that it promotes rapid growth. Are there any plants out there that take advantage of high light levels in other, ways instead of getting real big, real fast? The tank's not real big, only ~10" from waterline to gravel, so rapid growth isn't a big need. |
