Hello im new to the whole planted aqaurium thing. I have had several normal aquariums in the past though. I decided I really like the new realm of this world. I have a odyssea 4x18w 72w total Fixture 16" above my substrate in my 20 gallon tall tank. The bulbs are 6500k so ideal for the plants. What is my lighting level considered?
My goal is a nice dwarf grass carpet. I have a good steady DIY co2 supply setup and im dosing flourish iron and comprehensive.

My substrate is the black caribsea sand.
How is this setup for my plants?

I don't know enough to tell you if anything is "wrong" with your setup, but I think it looks great.

Thank you very much! It has only been planted 4 days and I trimmed the dwarf hairgrass down all the way so it would spread better. I cant wait till my background plants get taller!
