    Hi guys, I'm new to planted tanks. Just started a 1ft tank and managed to diy co2 system yesterday on first try.Today woke up and saw alot of bubbles from the diffuser

    Im currently using cheap 4W Led clip on lights for my tank. After doing some reading, somehow im still not convinced that the light is strong enough for my current setup consisting of anubias,java ferns and jap hairgrass which i plan to turn it into a lawn.

    My questions are..is the light strong enough for jap hairgrass? Considering the W/G factor?
    If no, how much would T5 lights cost?

    Kindly need experts to help me out.thanks guys!

    For your anubias and java fern it should be no problem these are low lights requirement plants.
    As for your jap hairgrass depend on your tank height.
