Amazing looking tank gf225. How many gallons and what plants?
I asked someone from another site about HC in lowlight. Here is the responce I got:
"Yes..well I think it's low light. It's a 13 wt single T-5 6500K desk lamp, over a 10" X10" X 10" cube, so 4.3 gal. Substrate is generic peat and compost potting soil, topped with fine gravel & white sand. I use Seachem ferts, according to their chart...scaled down for my tank. Minus the trace. Recently I have been adding mostly just excel. The tank has 1 dwarf puffer & two orange shrimp. It gets a little sunshine in the a.m., but not for long.

I think it looks great! I don't want plants to grow too fast obviously, since my tanks are so small. I started out with one little pot, and it has spread all over. I cannot keep it in my second tank, because I tried it and my spixi snail ate it..three times.
I did just change my lighting today. But only because I don't like the PC's over the tank on the right...plus it looked pretty ghetto. Today I received a Nova Extreme T-5 fw fixture. I am putting both tanks up on the desk, and running it across them. We'll see how things change, or what."
That is just a bit over 2 wpg. Me I am going to try HC in 1.5 wpg and with DIY CO2, High Fish Load, and supplemental flourish.
