i asked the lady at my lfs which plants live the longest and she said they all die in a few months unless you have a special light and fertalizers

is that true?

are my plants all doomed?
 
thats pretty low light... i think you could probably do something with that... i just dont know what... but you certainly could add another light if possible... i only have 2 18 bulbs on my 20long and i have plants growing and doing well
 
perhaps plastic? they need to be cleaned once in a while. but tonnes of variety, relatively no hassle.
 
Some would say yes, some would say no, I'd say TRY IT! It's fun. But yes, sometimes frustrating.
 
I only suggest plastic because of the ease of keeping, and cost of lights. My light kit cost plenty, more than alll the rest of the gear. then I found out it still was mid to low level!! My bad iguess.

Good luck j lines
