Hello,

I have a 10 gallon tank and I am currently trying to produces a thick carpet of dwarf hairgrass. I know the basis of growing aquatic plants are lighting, substrate, and co2. I have the co2 and the substrate (well... my substrate is gravel but I decided to use root tabs to hopefully cancel it out a bit). For the co2 I set up a DIY and I am also dosing liquid fertilizer.

I just need to figure out my lights! The only plants I have in the tank are dwarf hairgrass and one java fern. As I mentioned my goal is to achieve a carpet of dwarf hairgrass. Here are my questions.

1) What type of lights should I use? (I do not have a strip hood)

2) How many wpg? (I know that is just a guideline, not an exact rule)

3) Anything else I should know?

Thank you very much :D
