In this new tanke, I use a single 14w Compact Fluorescent over my 5 gal. tank. On the blub it said soft light. Is this blub ok for an aquarium use? .Does a single 14w gives too much light for 5 gal? Any body have an experience about lighting a small tank? I don't use CO2.
Plants in this tank are balansae, wendtii red Java Lace Fern, Java moss, Red Temple, Micro tenellus-pigmy chain swords.
