My New Setup... Still need help..

[abcalwyn]

So this is what my Tank Looks like. Need to add more plants. Its a low tech setup. Got some java moss, Horn wort... I don't know the names of the rest. I got a T5 tube 14 watts and DIY CO2 setup. And for ferts m using Macro Nutrients. So now I need help in knowing if I need to add more lighting. If yes then will a normal tube light of 36watts be enough. I'm going to add Pearl weed as well and also Saggitaria. Don't mind the background in the pic... Coz its still not ready...

Please do not keep Hornworts in tanks. They will grow very fast and it will become a weed.

if possible please change the substrate to some natural looking one, right now it's looking a bit odd(its just my opinion).

Go through different plant journals before starting the tank ,it will help u
For substrate you can check this thread

I m using diy co2 in my planted tank , selection of plant is important ,select plant which required low to medium co2 and light
For plant selection check this link

start with some low demanding plants

size of your tank ?

2 feet length, 2 feet breath, 1 feet width

2 feet length, 2 feet breath, 1 feet width

tank height of 2 foot is not good for planted tank , u will require 3x36w pll light for medium light ,
low tech is better choice for your tank dimension ..

I'm doin low tech only. So far I got only one t5 of 14watts. So for a low setup will it b enough...

for low tech tank light around 1-1.5 watt/gal is good, u r tank volume is 30 gallon, add one more 14w t5 atleast
