Updated June. Starting with the most recent and going back to the beginning...
Original post starts here..
Lighting is pretty low now, I have 2 15watt t8 bulbs sitting directly on top. They look a little brighter when it's not so murky from kicked up sand, but still low. Thinking I might get the 36" t5 2x39 watt fixture I've seen at local stores. I would probably just have one bulb in it for now, I don't have the money for co2 and just don't feel like going that route yet..
Also looking to add some more plants. I think all of the amazon sword over there will get too unruly so I may take some out and add something a little easier to keep in line. Am definitely open to ideas for some sort of bushy plant, or possibly some narrow leaved java fern and more driftwood, I'm not sure yet.
A couple pics of the new setup! Cave is made of 3 pieces of driftwood and I just have my rhizome plants tucked right in there.
The various catfish love the driftwood setup so far!
