Looking for plants

[Scott Weintraub]

I’m looking for a variety of low/mid light starter plants to see what will work with my 125 gallon setup. I’m willing to pay, and can pick up in the Davis/Sacramento area.

Thanks.

Post a pic of your tank.  If it is a standard 125 it should only cost about $75 to add 3 50w LED flood lights that will grow any aquatic plants very well.

I have decent shop lights and could add more, but I’m not dosing ferts or adding CO2 yet. I’m trying to ramp up slowly and want to see how various plants grow in my old substrate. I’m hoping that someone will share a variety of cuttings and grasses from a tank pruning and I can plug them in and see how they do.

You don't need CO2 and you don't need to dose ferts.  You only need good lighting, and the correct water chemistry.  I only inject the sand bed twice a year with Flourish and Flourish Iron.  CO2 is only needed to grow plants that would not normally grow submersed or grow them when the water chemistry is less than ideal.  Here is an example of a 60g cube (24 x 24 x 24) that uses a 50w 5000K flood light.
