I hate bugs. Carnivorous plants get me.
Hey all, it's been a while! I am currently debating switching over my "tropical" dews and the few intermediate Neps I have into a 20 long and leaving my 15 gallon for the pygmies and pings. Right now my current collection is crammed into said 15 gallon, and everything is doing great but I want to expand the collection. I am wondering what I should do in terms of lighting if I do end up switching some of them over (which will happen if I end up placing an order for more plants).
Since the 20 long used to be a planted aquarium I currently have a twin tube T8 fixture with a total of 34 watts. Unsure about which bulbs I have now but I could check.
How much more would I need? I am wondering if it would be worth it to go with a T5 or just add another thing of T8s. I'm open to suggestions!
I was thinking of having the "base" be egg crate raised up somehow and then put the dews in a plastic tray and just set the neps on the crate .
Here's what would be in the 20g most likely...
-D. adelae
-D. admirabilis
-D. aliciae
-D. binata ‘t form’
-D. capensis ‘typical’
-D. capensis ‘alba’
-D. capensis ‘red’
-D. capillaris ‘long arm’
-D. madagascarensis
-D. nidiformis
-D. spatulata ‘pink flower’
-D. venusta
-N. maxima
-N. x Miranda
-N. ventricosa 'red'
Thanks for any suggestions ahead of time!!!
