get some Vallis for the back of your tank, some Crypts to go at the front of your tank, and is you have any bog wood, get some Anubias Nana and attatch it to your bog wood.

let us know what you come back with!

 

[scotty]

there is 10 different types of crypts,is there any in particular i should get

Cryptocoryne wendtii is easy to grow, it depends on what sort of size you want, some grow massive, and some grow tiny.

That's a lot of light, you may struggle with algae so leave the lights on for no longer than 4 hours a day for the first 6 weeks.

Crypts, Anubias, Vallis, Microsorum and Echinodorus species would all be fine.

 

[scotty]

this is what i got today
2 bunches of Hedyotis Salzmannii
2 bunches of Limnophila Sessiliflora
1 Echinodorus x "Ipica"

what do you mean by too much light if thats not too dumb a question

 

[Truck]

With that much light you're going to struggle without CO2, so keep lighting to 4 hours a day or the plants will die and algae will get a foot in.

thats with the standard Juwel T5's?

I have my standard T5's running 8 hours a day without CO2 and have some great growth and no plant deaths yet after 7 weeks, also no algae.

It depends on the tank, to my understanding the Trigon 190 has 2*28watts and is quite tall, whereas the 125 has 28*2 and is shallower.
