2FT fish tank ?


now all my plant died ~ so i wanna buy new plant ( no need CO2 type of plant )

i suggest you get java moss,fern and nana.
All are very easy to grow.

bro, see this link for the list of hardy plants i found hardy

you can skip co2 for hardy/low tech plants, but i still recommend sufficient correct lights ( the pink light you are using is not for plants), dosage of liquid carbon and fertilizer

You don't need co2 or fert for ferns and anubius plants
A florescent light will suffice too (: they are really hardy

Think you need to swap for a white color tube? looks pinkish. Could be the reason why plants died.

You could try

Java Fern/Windelov variety
Almost all Moss type.
Anubias nana, barteri., mini etc.

They are bulletproof plants btw

Try hortwort / Nanas / Moss, most hardy is moss but still need some lighting. If you want some leaves Nanas or those ferns tied on driftwood will be your best choice

All plants need co2, if not they die cause needed to make food.
Don't worry about it, carbon dioxide naturally get absorb by water and vice-versa.

agreed with diazman that your light may be in the wrong color spectrum. would be better if you could get light between 5,000k to 7,000k.

But fellows, previously I was using Arcadia Plant Pro tubes & those were pinkish in color too. I don't suppose the Plant Pro tubes are not intended for plants?

Will 1800lumen light do the trick ?

[diazman]

Not sure about acadia & 1800lumen products. I just use those shop lights and plant grows very well with it. Cheap and good for me
