Chris OB Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi everyone I’m about to embark on my first planted tank. I do have experience keeping fish though. I just set up a 40 breeder and used about 40 lbs of eco complete and capped it with some regular aquarium gravel it’s ranging from 2-4 inches and already have a small school of harlequin rasboras and cory , I’m thinking of starting with some crytps like parva for the foreground and maybe wendtii for mid I would like to do a couple swords in the background like little bear or another shorter variety or possibly some sort of stem plants. I will obviously use plant tabs and is a finnex stingray 2 enough light for the swords? Especially where they’d be going is about 10-12” deep due to the deeper substrate is this sounding like a decent set up? And achievable with my setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Oh yeah its defentley enough light. Speaking from experiance I have grown swords with those little led lights that the starter kits come with. All of your plants are reletivley low light plants, and a finnex stingray will be more then enough light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
