Hello, I have a few questions regarding my 20 long planted tank. The has been set up for about a year now and about 6 months with anubias and amazon sword. Heres the specs so far

Filter- 2 Aquaclear 30's *Will be updating to an Eheim 2215
Lights- 2 20W CFL 6500k can change the distance to the water level
Ferts- Thinking about EI dosing 2 or 3 times a week plus water change

The plants are undecided I am wanting to do something that looks like grass possibly Dwarf hair grass, but I am not sure if my lighting is good enough. For Co2 I might do DIY then possibly Paintball. Thanks for reading any advice will help me a lot.

I personally think that hirgrass needs closer to 3 watts per gallon rather then your single watt per gallon ratio. I have had great success with DIY co2 but they are a pain. One thing you do have going for you is the 20 long, since they are shallow the lighting will easily reach the plants so you might need less lighting.

Is there a better lower light plant that looks like grass that will work?

Dwarf Sag?

Dwarf sag would look good that would be a good contestant for the tank.
