What can i keep under a 15 watt T8 light? I just noticed today that my bulb is a t8 bulb, i thought it was just a regular fluorescent light. So what kind of plants can i keep with a 15 watt T8 light on a 10 gallon tank? Thanks!

Only low light plants? Can i keep any plants that need moderate-low or moderate lighting or high lighting?

I have a similar setup on my fry tank and discovered Java Moss grows very well in that, with no ferts or CO2 added. It grows very slowly and took about a year for a small clump of Java most to completely cover the entire bottom of the tank and fill it approx 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. The hard part is finding the fry hiding in the Java Moss forest when it's time to move them to another tank.

A T8 is a regular fluorescent light. You'll do okay with low-light plants, java fern, anubias, etc.

you only have a low light set up. start with the low light and see how they go. if they are going good try the low=medium light plants.
