| the 10000k light will work ...I recomend about 6-8 hours a day of having the light on otherwise you might end up with alot of algae bloom....java moss I recomend almost any liquid fish tank fertilizer...I have decent luck with the sea-chem flourish I also really like the SERA line of ferts., but I believe they have been bought out or are going under so if you see any on discount pick them up. I have actually had luck with tetra brand plant ferts. Downside with tetra they are kinda missing some of the trace elements the others have and plants will need iron and phospherus sooner or later, but it is a nice fert for small water changes. | |

| What you need to do is either copy & paste the bottom code on your photobucket screen or add [ img] https://2img.net/h/i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww294/bassackwards69/my%20fish/100_0739.jpg [ /img] but without the spaces inside the [] and you will get this:  | |

| Tie the java fern on something with COTTON sewing thread, by the time it rots away the roots will be firmly attached |

| Thats fine too. Most folks use that..... just watch and make sure no fish get tangled in it. I would cut it off in a month or 2. |
