I have a 20 gallon high tank. I currently have a Hagen Life-Glo bulb on for 9hours. I am having trouble with my stem plants decaying. I have lost my two ludwigia. Floating plants and rooted plants are doing better. From other reading, it seems I don't have enough light.
My light set up is a single hood fluorescent, over an Aqueon glass Versa Top to try to minimize light loss. What is the easiest (AKA cheapest) way to add additional light to better penetrate the depth of the 20 high and properly bask my light seeking plants?
Also, should I remove my charcoal filter? Will the charcoal absorb the fertilizer?
