I never really tried plants before because in my large tank (125 gallons) I have large cichlids so they just dig everything up so I just have rocks and gravel in that tank. I have a 3 gallon Eclipse tank that I wanted to put plants in. Is it possible to do a planted 3 gallon tank? I know that it is a 9" T5-6 watts light, are there bulbs that fit this tank with a higher K? I don't know what the K's are with the one that comes with the tank. Right now I have one betta in it with gravel. If it is possible what kind of plants do suggest? How would I care for it.

Thanks,
Kathy
