Re: New 30g Long Crabitat Setup, please critique my shopping list!

For the plant question, all you mentioned are fine. The aquatic plants may not do well, even with the high humidity. At 80%, my aquatic plants did not appreciate the crabitat humidity and didn't handle the change. I think if it grew out on its own will it would do better. But honestly, my aquatic p...
