20 Gallon Planted Tank Aquarium

Uploaded by rubicundity on Jul 17, 2009
This is my first planted aquarium. Yes, it seems a bit crowded but the fish are doing just fine. Lighting is 2.5 wpg. Plants include anubias, amazon swords, brazilian swords, mosses, and others. As for fish, there are tetras, danios, platies and a betta.

I love your planted tank! I have a 20 gallon planted tank too and really need to upgrade my lighting. Where did you get your new lighting?!
-
Very pretty tank! The fish are so colourfel, but your black skirts are looking a little pale (stressed), other than that i love it!!
I have the same sized tank as yours, and i am thinking i might get some of the plants you have and add them to my tank. ^^

20 Gallon Plant Tank 1 year laterby rockpilesurfer9,592 views
Hey first off very nice tank...ive just started on my first planted tank so far i have 3 different types of plants eco complete substrate an a piece of driftwood its a 20 gallon high so i was just wondering what kind of light would be best for my plants will be posting a new video with the new substrate within a few days thanks...

@mikesds1 Yup mine is a 20 gallon high too. and 2.5 watts per gallon on the lighting just down cut it. You should have at least 3-4 watts per gallon. My plants look great under the current setup.

@rubicundity I was just wondering where you got your light bulb at because i can only find 15w llights and what brand you have i have a stock lid so i need a 18in bulb
mikesds1 1 year ago
@mikesds1 The lighting that came with the tank was single fluorescent bulb 15 watt. I had to buy a a new lighting set that uses compact fluorescent. Compact fluorescent uses less energy but produces 3x more light. I have 2 strips of compact fluorescent bulbs in the current lighting system. 25 watt per bulb x 2 = 50 watt. 50/20 = 2.5 wpg

Hey, I really like your tank! Especially your plants looks great. Do you use CO2? Or what fertilizer do you use?
TheBravo101 2 years ago
@TheBravo101 I do not use any CO2 or any fertilizers. But I do use a substrate called flourite. All these plants do not require a CO2 system but I do need a stronger light for this 2.5wpg is just not enough to reach down a 20 gallon high tank.
