Hi everyone,
I'm starting a planted tank as soon as I gather the last bit of the materials. I am now looking at lights. I am looking to keep it rather low tech meaning no CO2 as I do not feel comfortable using it and I don't want to use anymore money as I have a budget.
I am looking at the Finnex Fugerays for lighting. I see that they have positive responses throughout the forum and the prices are pretty good. I have a 15 gallon tank (24"x12"x12") and was thinking about getting the Finnex Fugeray 24". The substrate will be around 2-3 inches deep.
Will this make the plants grow too fast and require CO2? If so can I get Amazon Frogbits to provide some cover to reduce the lighting? If I do need CO2, can I just use Excel Flourish (the liquid CO2 thing)?
