complete newbie to plants
Hey, i want to plant my tank but I dont know what type of plants I can get. I have been into fish for years and had one plant in an old tank of mine that went good. My new tank is a 55 gallon tank with a 40W 18k FL light. It gives off a purpleish light. I was told I could have plants with this light. Can somone list some good plants that I could use for my light set-up? Thank you!

yea, never heard of using purplish lighting in planted tank. the best light source is the sun light... and is not purplish...
 i believe you can get a new set of FL lighting. suggest you to DIY. or if you have budget buy those Aquarium units. but still i would just DIY. search the web, it contains a lot of information about DIY aquarium stuff. dont forget about the substrate and CO2. for low tech plant, you can skip CO2.

Why not just get an Philips FL 865/36W? It costs only RM4.20. Or try Osram for better quality, 765/36W costs only RM7.90. Both with colour temperature, 6200K. If you have budget, try PL lights. Much better effects....

would this light: Odyssea 48" 130W Aquarium Power Compact Light & Bonus - (item 300131573187 end time Jul-25-07 00:35:31 PDT) be good for my 55 gallon tank? They are at my budget and seem to be nice. I have heard they are loud but it dosnt matter. Any input? Is 130watts enough? Thanks!
