Shoplights over a 55g I'm trying to set up a medium-planted 55g.
(Low light) Plants - amazon swords, needle leaf java fern, anubias.
Lights - 48" shoplights from home depot, with 2 Philips T8 32W bulbs.
No CO2 supplementation.
Daily excel dosing ( ~ 5.5 ml) (might go to once every two days)
Regular feeding, and once a week 1/2 tsp Grumpy's GH booster.
Do you think this would work? I'm not after fast plant growth, just a sustainable, low-algae setup.
BTW, the tank houses a large asian upside down catfish (Mystus leucophasis). But most of the ferns and anubias would be on driftwood, with only the amazon being planted. |
