Hi everyone, I just bought a 10 gallon tank and I am using real aquatic plants in it instead of the plastic ones. I have a 50 watt heater and a few fishies !
My question is, do I need to upgrade the lamp for the plants ?
Do you have a 13w fluorescent bulb in now? What type of plants do you need, that's what determines the light you need? You can have a standard bulb and grow plants, you don't need high light.
On the left is a redish big leaf typre plant (Water Primrose) followed by a nice green plant that looks like a pine tree (Carolina Fanwort, Green Cabomba), then there's a green round grassy looking ball and on the right a small green big leaf plant called (Anubias barteri var. nana).
