I just bought some driftwood for my 75 gallon. I am wondering what, besides java fern, will do well attached or in the tank to/with driftwood. Thanks.

driftwood plants?

What lighting level are we working with? Anubias, java ferns, mosses, bolbitis ferns all will attach easy, and are low light, low tech setup plants.
right now I just have a single strip light on the 75 gallon. I plan to add 2 more flouresant strip lights soon. I plan to use daylight bulbs from lowes or menards that are 6500k.
Instead of that buy a 48" compact flourescent. You may spend more for the fixture, but less long term on electricity. Also, you will be able to have mid to high wattage plants, and slightly faster growth.
That is affordable. How often do the bulbs need changed on compacts? If once a year, that could be costly!
Hey I just read that you can attach ricca fluitans (crystal wort) to a piece of driftwood or a rock by placing a hairnet over it for a while. Its a floating plant but if you leave it long enough it will attach itself to the object. Haven't tried it yet but am about to seeing as how i have tons of it growing at the top of the tank.
Both fluorescents and compact fluorescents should be changed once every year, even though the bulb isn't burnt out. They begin to loose their effectiveness beyond a year.born2lovefish;722826;722826 said:
