Hello All,

I've a 5 gallon Fluval Chi with CRS and RCS along with java moss but as of late the plants are slowly dying. I'm running dual sponge filters. I want to upgrade the light but have no idea what is best. Any takers???

You might get a response if you list the light you now have.
That size tank can/will grow almost any but high light plants by just putting a clamp on
type light over it with a 13W CFL 6500K bulb in it. How high it is over the tank determines the PAR. This thread has that bulb listed in it.
