hi! I'm about to invest in a new aquarium for my bedroom. A 25 gallon ( 24 x 12 x 20 ) with one of those Eclipse 2 hoods. I want to keep some very simple plants in there, preferably low-light foreground plants. Java Moss (for the carpet effect) and maybe some pygmy sword chains or maybe a *few dwarf saggitarria. I've heard the Eclipses aren't bright enough to keep plants and the filtering is detremental to them. Is this true? and is it all possible for me to keep plants in my new tank at all?
