I wanted to start a thread about my new planted 8 gallon biocube.
It has two 18 watt fluorescent bulbs, which in total would be 36 watts.
Therefore, I have 4.5 wpg. (36/8 = 4.5)
I am using ADA substrate. (Powersand, aquasoil, and powder)
I also have a DIY co2 system which is running well so far.
As a foreground plant i am attempt Glosso, which i hear is hard to grow properly. I have a piece of driftwood coming in from the right with Christmas moss attached by fishing line. As a midground plant im using Red Lily plants.
Behind the Red Lilies, there is one Vallisneria, and two Sunset Hygros.
The filtration is a sump, not sure of the details but heres the exact tank online. (Made by Oceanic):
