Cichlid tank plant recommendations
New member here...
What I am looking for is some plant recommendations. I recently
acquired a new tank for my Cichlids and thought that I would make a
concerted effort to plant it. Cichlids generally have a bad
reputation with plants but mine seem to do OK.
My current tank conditions are:
160 gal tank - 24" tall, 7' wide, 18" deep
78-82 F
pH 7.0-7.5
dH 10-12
LOW LIGHT - 2 F25T8 3' fluorescent bulbs (3500K, 84 CRI)
moderate indirect sunlight
<= 1/8" gravel "coarse blasting sand"
My preferences are tall leafy well rooting plants and grasses. I've
also considered adding sand and DIY CO2.
Thanks,
Nigel Campbell
