Aquascaping My 5.5 Gallon Tank

[snuffy]

Yeah my betta is awesome! Great personality! Too bad when I first bought him I didn't kill the current in his tank and he loved swimming through it and ripped up his tail... but I digress...

I read that if I have high light in my tank the moss becomes light green and if I have low light it'll be darker green. I was curious what kind of bulbs I can buy that would give me a good clear low lighted tank. As of right now I have 2 bulbs (10w each) in my bowl that I bought from Walmart. I'm assuming that makes my 5.5 gallon highly lighted tank.

Any brands of bulbs and wattage I should be looking for? Links/pictures would be deeply appreciated!

Thanks once again. Can't wait for my moss to grow in!!!

Funny story... After looking at some online pictures, I realized that I was growing my carpet of moss all wrong. I was putting my java moss between TWO plastic grids. So I took off the top grid of my moss and it was so happy to see a THICK MAT of MOSS!

I was curious though. Is the moss too thick leading to some dead moss? OR will I be ok with what I have right now? THANKS!
