Fish Crazy
Would 2 watts per gallon be good enough for most plants? I want to expand out of swords, java ferns and combanas.
That would depend on size and depth of the aquarium. 2 watts/gallon for 10gallon isn't the same thing as 2 watts/gallon for 55 gallon aquarium. That being said, Java Fern would do quite well under 20watt in 10 gallon tank. Mine grows pretty well in 10 gallon. I'm not sure what 'combanas" are, but if you mean Cabombas, the answer is (kinda) yes for 45 gallon (and larger), and no for 10gallon (or less). Cabomba needs at least 2.5watt/gallon to do well.Would 2 watts per gallon be good enough for most plants? I want to expand out of swords, java ferns and combanas.
What are some plants I can put in my tank with 2 watts per gallon? I do have a co2 system btw.
This is what I was thinking..
Current
2 Amazion Swords
6 Java Ferns(Maybe even more, they are reproducing like crazy)
2 Cambonas
Future
Water Wisteria
Japanese dwarf rush
Other types of swords, what would you recommend?
And a type of grass, maybe mirco swords?
And any other plants that are common and look great...
