I went out and bought a second fluorescent hood today...Now I've got about 120 watts of light on my 75 gallon aquarium - 2 24'' Ocean Sun 10,000 K, and 2 48'' Full Spectrum bulbs (came with hood). I was wondering what sort of plants I should be getting that would make use of this not so strong lighting...I know about Anubias, Java Fern/Moss, and Crypts, but surely there has to be more plants that can do well in these conditions? Also, the two bulbs that came with the hood give my tank a rather pinkish cast. What bulb(s) can I exchange one or both with to normalize the appearance?

There are several types of plants can that work in your tank... what kind of plants are you looking for? (ie. size, growth rate, etc.)

For your bulbs, look for bulbs in the kelvin range of around 5000k-7000k. Bulbs in the 5000k area are more yellow compared to bulbs in the 6700k range.

Thanks for the bulb advice Richer.

As for plants, I'm looking for size, really, as I have growth and space fillers covered i think (sunset hygro bunches, windelov java fern, anubias, and hairgrass soon).

Pretty mich exactly what I was going to say. As for the plants, anacharia to reasonably well in low lighting.
