May I ask what your doing for Ferts? As for high light plants, I love Hemianthus callitrichoides, makes a great carpet

Just a general rule...any plant with color like red or white in it is generally a higher light demanding plant.
You will know how good your tank is because if you get one of these plants and it ends up turning green and doesn't hold its color then you don't have enough light.
Cocoa your 10g planted prolly looks already better than my tank. I need to get some money into my paypal and get some plants and stuff. I also need to stabalize my Co2. Get my drop checker working as well so I can see what I am working with.

picked up the light today.

also, tomorrow i get the stand, and someone can get me unlimited coupons for petsmart, but $10 of stuff and get 5$ off. so then i should get some plants and i need sea salt for the reefs.

Any stem plant. Refer to my stem plant primer in a day or two :)

Where you gettin those coupons? I am goin to petco or petsmart tomorow to buy some of my reef equipment, hook me up with some coupons!!

he gets them from a manager, but theyre valid in canada only. i think theyre limited time so im gonna buy a crapload tomorrow.

i was wrong. the tickets are good in alberta only until sept. 30, but my buddy found them in the recycling, and he got a wad of about 30. tomorrow 3 of us are going to petsmart, and since it doesnt say 1 per day, just 1 per sale, were just going to keep rotating. i need about 30$ of plants, a 10g stand, a 50W heater, and sea salt, maybe a fish, so i'll have to pay like 5 separate times
