Lighting And Plants

[Debbie_19]

I was just wondering if anyone knows if this would be ok, I checked my lighting last night and it is an 18w with reflectors over a 80l tank. Would this be ok if i got some low light plants?

If so, can anyone suggest any low light plants that are easy to come by, tall ones would be better at they are for the back ground of my tank, thanks everyone.

You will be able to grow some low light plants okay, but growth will be slow. Plants i've had success with in my low-light planted community tank are:

Vallis

Elodea Densa

Anubis Barteri

Java Moss

Hygrophilia polysperma

Hope this is of some help, check the sticky threads at the top of the forum also.

Add to that the easy plant list in my signature. Just click on "easy plant list". There's a lot more to choose from.
