    Lighting needs to be decent to allow carpeting plants to grow well. Fortunately for short tanks, it's easy to find lighting choices. Due to the open scape format of Iwagumis, point source lighting (LED spotlights, Metal halide units) can be use to cast a shimmer as the water ripples, and accentuate shadows cast by aquascaping rocks.
