The starter set is often used for getting acquainted with aquariums as a hobby. Thus, it must be a success.

The amount of light of 0.3 Watt/Litre water is not much in terms of plant requirements, but several plant varieties are suitable if you are careful with your plant selection. (Read more the various needs of aquarium plants here.)

The growth rate is moderate, which ensures minimal plant care and time to correct possible faults.

The low-light Anubias and Cryptocorynes are placed on sides with a minimum of light. Java moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri) is also suitable for this position.

Both Limnophila sessiliflora and Limnophila hippuridoides thrive in the centre under the light, where they add shades of fresh green and red violet.
