LightingYou must have good lighting to grow aquarium plants. All plants need light to grow. But not all plants will grow well in the same light. A few plants can grow well in very poor lighting, but if you really want a good chance to be successful wiht a planted aquarium, you must have good light!Plants need light for growth. A few plants will grow with a single standard hood with a florescent bulbThe easiest way to get good lighting on your aquarium is with florescent lights. On a 10 gallon tank you can grow plants like moss, some crypts, hornwort, Rotala indica, and maybe a few other low light plants with the standard single florescent 15 watt bulb that comes in the hoods for that size of tank. Two 4 foot light strips on these tanks are really needed for moderate growth. When you get your florescent light bulbs there are many options.
