Default Re: Sea grass

30 inch high isnt necessary for Halodule, Thallasia, or Halophila. By going with such a tall tank it will also increase your lighting needs. Halodule and Halophila can be kept successfully with a shallow 2 - 3 inch sand bed. Thallasia will require a deeper sand bed. My Thallasia and Halodule are in an 18 inch tall tank with a 5 - 6 inch sand bed and are growing well. The Thallasia does touch the waters surface, but the Halodule doesnt even come close. Halophila only grows up tp about 2 inches tall and wouldnt be a problem at all in a short tank. Halodule would be fine in a 10g tank with shallow sand bed.
