Hi all!
So I've been wanting to get some sort of lighting for my tank so I can have more variety of plants. My tank is 5 gallons, currently on my desk under a window that doesn't receive much sunlight. I know people always relate tank + window = excessive light but not in my case.
It isn't bright enough for elodea to grow but some algae does grow 1cm above the gravel at the front of the tank. I'm wondering what wattage I should go for. I was thinking of a 5W light but would it be too much if there's already some daylight?
