Hello, haven't even gotten my tank yet, but would like get your opinion on what to have for my 20G. I have read (&plan to get) java ferns, anubios nana, &water wisteria are good plants to get. I will have an Eclipse II filtration & lighting for my tank. Will this be a good start?

I believe that the hood uses a TB8 bulb and the filter is up to 250GPH. I plan on having a layer of gravel, and top with Eco substrate with gravel. Also there will be one large ceramic log for fish tide in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.:1luvu:

For a single T8 you are going to only want really low tech plants. I would go for Crypts, Anubias, Moss, and some Fern. Stems and other plants will not do very well due to the lighting.

Thank you so much for your suggestion, will look for those plants.
