Min. Lighting for a 20L? and set up questions?

poisonfrog420 Jul 03, 2003 07:44 PM

I am planning on seting up a 20l, will one florsent bulb the length of tank work well? If not, what is the recommend watage for PC bulbs? I am going to set the tank up with gravel on the bottom, then some bed-a-beast, and then moss. I plan on live plants and a water dish and coconut hiding spots. Is there any thing else I am forgeting? Any tips? Thanks, Jacob.

I have a 20 long with gravel on the bottom and then a layer of moss I collected. I made a black jungle order today and should have some cork bark, bromeliads, lilaeopsis brasiliensis, creeping fig, etc. for it next week. I got a cork curl, and I may position a pump under the gravel on the bottom to pump up water for a stream coming from under the cork into a small pool with the L. brasiliensis. I'm using a fluorescent fixture with a grow bulb, and then will graduate to a PC later on.
