First off, I am new to this forum. Hello everyone.
Now, I have been into aquariums before, but this is my first attempt at live plants. Here is my setup right now--
12 gal tank
3 inch layer of eco-complete substrate
2- 20 watt CFL (spiral halogen) bulbs
3 Amazon Swords
1 Anubias Nano
I wasnt sure about the lighting and didnt see many other people talking about using CFL bulbs. They are "daylight" full spectrum bulbs. - has anyone else had any luck with these bulbs?
As far as the plants go: I am probably going to replace the amazon swords. I want sure how tall they would get, but I know think they may outgrow my tank fairly quickly. The anubias nano I plan to replant on a nice peice of driftwood soon.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other easy to maintain small foreground type plants?
