	Plants for a 2G?
AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003	I have a 2G Tank, with 1 20W bulb. It's one of those little desk lamps from IKEA, and the bulb itself is probably only one inch long, but it says it's 20Watts. Is it possible to grow anything in this tank? If so please list what. My temp stays around 75 degree's and the pH is 7.0. I'm looking for darker colours and an over all soft apperance, I would like this tank to be heavily planted.

I've had luck with cabomba and anacharis. Attaching java fern to a rock or wood also works. ~~~~ [/font] ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
