Staurogyne Repens and Very low light


Will they grow? or even survive at all?

My tank is about 21 inches tall and T8 no reflector. According to hoppy's chart, it's even lower.

Thanks

They will for a while but not long they will try to grow long and the bottoms would eventually just melt, they require med-very high
