Hey everyone,
I just redesigned my 55 gallon tank, and will be having some plants in it very soon. I was just wondering what type of plants I could get with
a- if i went with a compact fluorescent light(2 x 65w bulbs)
b- if I went with a double fluorenscent tube light(2x40w bulbs)
Any info appreciated,
Dan
Basically, the same plants. The light output isn't significantly different between the two sources to bump you from medium light to high light.
Any medium light plant will do fine, but under the compact fluorescent setup, your stem plants will look a little "bushier" with the extra lighting compared to the NO tubes.
The easy answer is, anything you could pick up at the OVAS auctions would likely do just fine under both lighting situations.
