Ok so my 10 gal tank has cycled and i ordered my light today along with some endlers to go in it, now i need to get my carpet plant ordered. I have eco-complete for substrate, 36 watts of light, and will be dosing excel. So what would be some good choices for carpet?
 
Hair-grass??
 
Glosso or HC (baby tears) will both need CO2.
I had a Tennulus carpet in a 10.There are pics in my gallery photos.It grew with 3.5wpg and pressurized CO2. DIY CO2 will help with any plants in a 10,especially carpet plants.
 
Well my java moss in my 10 gal tank is certainly making itself useful as a carpet... and then some. haha

On the right hand side of the tank, there is a sunken ship decoration. Which the java moss has sufficiently covered. Can you see it? :D

This is extreme low-light. No ferts. No Co2, Nothing fancy. Same strip light that came with the tank when I bought it a long time ago. I think I replaced the bulb about a year ago when it started blinking for 5 minutes before it finally turned on.
