Will this tank support live plants?

I have a couple low-light plants in it and they do ok- I get some light from a window a little ways away, but not a lot. I wouldn't get anything that requires a decent amount of light unless you have good lighting coming from a window etc as well. I also don't have algae problems, but I have some small snails too.My light actually still works, I've had it like a year and use the light every day. I did change the filter and am much happier with a different filter.

Yes, I have live plants in mine. Just make sure to provide plant nutrition.

It really depends on the type of plants you are trying to grow. Almost any tank can support live plants and this is no different. As long as you have sufficient light and nutrients this tank will do give for most live plants.

Absolutely, but i highly recommend purchaseing a REAL filter. The one it comes with is worthless, i threw it out and just frequently clean my tank, and do often water changes.

If the light doesnt break. Mine broke after three weeks. The cord broke at the base of the plug in. Also the filter is too turbulent for the tank.

It depends on amount of light you can give it. The included LED light will not be enough light for growing plants.

Also, my light burnt out and I haven't replaced it, but I keep the tank in a very well lit room, right by big windows, and the plants grow a lot. The filter is a problem - it's very strong for my fish and some of the plants have come up, but I wrapped a little bag around the bubbler and that's made it better.

I have a 60 inch 110 gallona q and have one on mine. It gives off bright light....my tank does not have live plants... So may want to be sure this is the right light for live plants.

I do not have live plants in my aquarium. I do have a 50 gal tank and it lights it very nicely. I love the moon light feature.

I seriously doubt it, if that's the only light the plants receive. One of these things gives enough light to make a betta tank (about 1.5 gal, and broader than it is deep) fairly bright to show off colors, but I can't see one being enough light for 15 gal of planted tank. However, I have no idea what wattage of light it's equivalent to (in order to estimate 1-2 watts per gallon); this is only my personal impression from looking at my own small setup.

I would echo what the others have said. Although it's a great light, it's probably not the right light for a planted tank. Unplanted tank that size, I say 2 would be enough.

You can use this light with plant as well..I have my 55 gallon planted tank is working great

It depends on what type of plant tank you have should work fine since it's feet are adjustable. my tank which already has a cover works fine on top of this. Not sure if I would recommend it if you plan to leave it flush on top of the tank with no cover. works fine if you leave it above the tank with the feet/stands on the tank sides in which stands about 4-5" above the top.

According to manufacture ....yes....I just rinse mine out and reuse.... but in my salt tank I also have A LOT of live rock and plants that help to...

I'm not sure I understand your question. We bought the tank and plastic plants on amazon.

Sure. I use it from an 18 gallon tank up to my hydroponic tomatoes three times a day.

Sherry Miner's response is correct. The rack is excellent and works perfectly for plants. I now have two of them.

You could, but I'm not sure there is enough water pressure to make it work. Your potted plants would have to be well below the bottom of the collection vessel.

Yes. I have a 75 gallon planted tank with sand substrate. It is set up for my turtle so it is only half full and I mounted the filter sideways. I do have to keep it on a low setting or it will dig holes from the current. I use the spray bar setting and it works beautifully.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

Just get one and try it out. I believe the tank will be more than good enough for your tank.

My tank is acrylic making it much lighter than glass but having said I have 60 lbs sand , 50 lbs live rock and loads of fake corals and it seems as if it could support even more. It is steel and pretty well put together so I think it will be fine for 65 gal tank.

Yes it will be ok for it, i have one on my squared 120 gallon tank and looks very good. There are no dark areas in it.
