Alright everyone, so after about a year or two of fish keeping I feel like I know a little something about eco systems and how nature balances out and all of such, but I'm still learning and I'm going to need help with this. I currently have a 29 gallon dirted. The only plants I have to put in it are Dwarf hairgrass, Telanthera, an Amazon Sword, a couple crypts and Wisteria.

Using a standard 29 gallon, 30X12X19
Odysea Quad Plant light (2X24watt T5-HO)  it does actually have 4 bulbs though, I'm just only using 2.
How am I going to do this guys? Are the plants I have going to grow under that? I know red plants are demanding(Telanthra). and also
WHATS UP WITH THIS ALGEA TALK? tbh, I don't really care too much about algea. I'll get some shrimp or snails or such to work on all of that.

But why is CO2 advised with high light? How does Co2 work and what role does it play in plant health?

Thanks much appreciated and more coming soon! Also will post pics of my 40 Long low tech as well. : )
