java moss would probably survive.
hairgrass would likely die. |

I doubt either would "grow", and the Moss might not even survive.
We're talking 0.26 wpg, which is...not even considered low light.
The moss would probably need closer 1 wpg before it'd actually thrive, but then again, I've heard stories of people having Java Moss grow in a bucket in their basement with only ambient ceiling lighting  |

The hair grass is going to need in the range of 2.5-3.0 wpg on your tank to GROW. The Java Moss might survive and might even grow albeit very, very slowly. _________________ www.rexgrigg.com

how do you see your fish in that tank? are you sure you didn't mean 75 litres. 20 watts is only a 24" NO bulb IIRC. did you buy this tank and lighting seperate? |

yes the tank is 75gallons but I didn't have enough money so what the heck it covers half the tank oh and if I did get light for half the tank would the moss grow in half the tank (that was good enough for it)? I don't really get that plant thing  |

personally id just save money and upgrade the lighting to around 1.5 wpg but java moss is pretty hardy it could work out. |
