1 feet office tank
Hi,
Hust planted HC Cuba 2 weeks ago into my tank. One question, I was using the normal overhead lights and I don't think it was bright enough. So being thrifty, I repositioned my reading lamp, National Love Eye Inverter 27watts on the tank. Can this light be used? So far, I've being using it for 2 weeks. Do comment. Thanks. |

Should be no problems, since it's white. Looks pretty good. Send photos back in a few weeks when it spreads!

Nice setup. The HC will take a while to crawl and cover the tank. I'm not even sure if it will crawl well with so little light!
The HC probably melted because you bought them in emersed condition. They will sprout new submersed growth after the melt. |

I like the basic scape. One thing though, the rock at the back-right seems to break up the flow. Perhaps a shorter rock will help to enhance it. If you have Japanese Hairgrass and decorate it sparsely between the rocks, it'd be even better.
The lights are prolly fine, the heat could be a problem but since its in the office then it should be ok. |

Thanks r0ck!
I have some Jap hairgrass in between the rocks. Will rearrange the rock to form a better flow. Thanks for the tip. |
