I am slowly adding plants to my 29G tank. Here are some specs:
0 Ammo
0 Nitrites
5-20 Nitrates (Weekly 50% water changes)
2 HOB filters, Aquaclear 50, Topfin 30
7.9 PH
8 dGH
4 dKH
Tap after treatment with Prime: 0-5 trAtes, .25 Ammo 7.6-8.0 PH
Substrate is pea-sized gravel, 1-3 inch depth graded front to back
12 Neon Tetra
7 Albino Corydora
1 Molly
1 Dwarf Gourami
I plan on upgrading the current single T8 18 Watt light that came with the tank to a dual T5 HO, 48 total Watt. Does this sound like it will work for a low light required plant setup? Will root tabs and occasional liquid ferts be enough? I have researched good low-light plants. Currently I have two Anubias plants (Nana and Afzelii). I would like to add Vallisneria as a tall back-drop plant.
