I'm looking for suggestions for plants that tolerate low light that I can get a carpet like effect. It doesn't have to be a carpeting plant, just one that will give a carpet like effect and tolerates lower light levels....maybe a moss?

Re: Low light carpeting plants
+1 DHG does wonders in low light applications. I've also seen people attempt a java moss carpet.Originally posted by myjohnson View Post30Long: L134 Leopard Frog Plecos X16, Corydoras Sterbai X9, Endlers X4

Next question, can it be grown without using pressurized CO2? I was hoping to stick with Flourish, etc.KarenComment

Did you ever get around to getting any dwarf hair grass? I just ordered three what i hope to be somewhat large mats of this off amazon the other day haven't received it yet but wanted to see if you had gotten any and if so how is it working out for you? They are supposed to be the size of dvd boxes but I am pessimistic at best. I am trying to carpet my 55 gallon and my 10 gallon.130 gallon lake malawi breeding community tank red zebra with true blue male, Mosobo "deep", Rusties, Taiwan reef.
125 gallon with Carl the crappie and Mrs. C the crawdad
100 gallon tall Walstad method planted tank
55 gallon tropical mixture of guppies, platy's, clown loaches
55 gallon pea puffer planted tank
30 gallon Cichlid fry tank
30 gallon planted snowball shrimp tank.

I did and it's working well. No die off, but it hasn't grown either, but I think a lot of that is due to the fact that I have low lights and the only supplements I'm currently using is Flourish.KarenComment

Can you specify on how much low light you're giving? Like how much watts and how many gallon tank?Comment

Re: Low light carpeting plants
5g Fluval Chi. It's the light that came with the tank, though I plan on getting a supplement.

Re: Low light carpeting plants
No wonder it isn't growing that stock light is pretty weak
