A friend of mine just picked up his 25 gallon tank, and he wants to plant it. He'll be using pool filter sand as substrate.
Problem is, his hood came with a 20 watt lightbulb. While I'm sure this is enough to illuminate his fish, I can't see any plants [short of Java Fern, maybe] growing in 0.8WPG.
Any suggestions? He has no problem buying the proper plant-lighting tube, but he only has space for one light bulb. How many WPG would he need to grow most plants, like Anacharis, Rotala Indica, Ludwigia/Moneywort, etc.?
