Help! My plants don't seem to be growing :(

You're wrong. 2 WPG to grow java ferns? Give me a break.

first of all.. there is no reason to be rude to me

secondly-- java ferns will FLOURISH in 2 WPG... I know this for a fact because I grow them in 3 WPG very well.

As I said.. they will live in much much less than that-- but they arent gonna grow very much with 1/2 WPG lol... 1WPG is bare minimum to grow any plant IMO

what misinformation would that be? lol

you need to go try and grow plants with .6 watts per gallon and then come back and tell me im wrong...

I've done it in a 29 gallon with the same lighting that the OP has. It won't work every time, but sometimes you get lucky and find some plants that will truly thrive in very low light. A blanket statement that plants cannot thrive in very low light is incorrect. Here is my extremely low light 29 gallon... I had it set up for several years and only tore it down due to tank upgrades.
