Alternative Substrate

Nice.

I used "reef sand". Looks like it was about the same size, and deep matte black. More expensive though.
It was about $4 for 5 pounds...

looks good. planning on adding any more plants?

stevenjohn21

yes i want some foreground plants but i can only have low light plants due to my lighting. Any suggestions what will grow in the substrate i have ?

redchigh

Why don't you tell use exactly how much light you have?
:P

Low light can mean anything from 1wpg to .2 wpg...

stevenjohn21

i dont know about lighting and "wpg" which is why i didnt LOL
I do know that my light is 24" 20 watt and the light output is 750

i like dwarf hairgrass, will that grow in those light conditions ?

Over a 20g, I consider that moderate light. What type of fluorescent (T5 HO, or regular T8) and do you know the kelvin rating of the tube (number followed by a K, like 5500K or 6500K)?

On the hairgrass, possibly but probably not.

hi,

i found some fish from sorrento beach in australia and i took them home, and now they aren't eating anything 2 of them already died...... plz help me ps: there really small

SinCrisis

if they're from a beach, they're probably saltwater? and your posting in the freshwater part of the forums, so im guessing your waters just wrong? Also, you should be making a new thread as this is off topic.

I or another moderator can move this to a new thread, but is this salt or fresh?
