Update: Four days in!
So as promised I will try and keep this active, if not for help (always useful) as much as for a basis to go from.
I recently picked up an Aqueon Floramax T8 18" 15w bulb to replace the stock bulb. From what I have been reading and heard, the K value is around 6500 so this should be alright for DHG in this shallow of a tank.
I have been doing the dry start method as stated following closely the steps of another poster (I will link it soon). Pretty much, just keeping the light on 10-11 hours a day, misting the plants heavily twice daily, warmish room to keep humidity in tank up, cellophaned the top before putting the lid on, and have three plant tabs in the substrate (which is saturated with water to the top msot level).
The plants seem to be getting a bit greener if I may say so. Still no offshoots yet but this is predictably early. I put three clumps in specific locations, the middle one is going to be in front of my mopani log that is still leaching tannins. I may try boiling it rather than letting it sit in standing hot water, this sound good?
Any suggestions are welcome and thankful for!
PS
Sorry for the haze but the walls are filled with moisture due to the high humidity.
