Advice for carpet look.
Hi, What kind of plants would be good for a nice carpet look in the
foreground. I have a 30g tank with 55w pc lighting. I will be soon adding pressurized co2 and a 100% flourite substrate. I know that many of the "carpet type" plants like Lilaeopsis require high light but 55w is all I can squeeze into my hood. Most of the light is concentrated in the foreground of the tank which might make it a little easier. Is there any hope for a nice patch of luxurious green carpet? Thank you for fueling my inspiration! Ferlin |

Thank you for fueling my inspiration! Lileaopsis sounds like a good bet to me. A thirty-gallon standard tank is 16+ inches high so, allowing for depth of substrate, your lighting will be just about a foot above the tips of the blades. 55-watts at about 6700k will be more than plenty to get a nice, lush carpet at that depth. kush |
