I'm selling an entire kit that you can use to grow pretty much any aquatic plants you want. I myself grew a beautiful floor of dwarf baby tears using this tank... i have absolutely NO idea why i didn't take any pictures before I moved to the east coast and let the tank die... but here's what's included:
-Picotope 3 gallon aquarium kit ($42 brand new)

This includes everything except for the crappy 9w LED light it came with, which I threw away (it can't grow plants). The filter's cartridge is also not included, but it can be replaced for like 2 dollars...
-Here's where the real money is: 25w macro-glo with 6400k Daylight ($54 new without shipping)

This baby is POWERFUL. 25w for a 3 gallon tank is over 8W per gallon, which is AWESOME. you might think that this is overkill and will ruin the plants, but from my experience it is great! didn't have any problems with algae with some cherry shrimp in the tank.
-Fluval mini pressurized c02 kit for up to 15 gallon (extra cartridges included) ($22 brand new without shipping)
kit?gdftrk=gdfV2226_a_7c268_a_7c6967_a_7c252653&ne _ppc_id=1463&ne_key_id=26453554
So what's my price?
$50 for the entire setup. P/U only!
Here's a picture of what it looked like when I first got it started: Just a tip: I found it much more successful to grow a field of dwarf baby tears fully submerged with the filter / light / c02 running. Just spread them throughout and it'll grow in no time.
