I planted some dwarf sag in my 20 long that had my spotted congo puffer with only root tabs.
The light i have is a nicrew classic led plus (full spectrum).

Its pretty bright and I dont want to over run the tank with algae in the future.

How many hrs a day of light and should I dim the lighting ?

Currently I'm running 7 hours and the light is 2/3 full power.

Also should I add any excel or other liquid ferts or should the root tabs be able to handle most nutrients sag needs?

Funny thing is I've had them years ago and they spread like crazy but I cant remember what I did 😂

I grew them both emersed and submersed years ago- didn't really do anything; they were freebies and I tossed them into some Fluval Stratum with those white generic white LEDs on at ~9hrs per day; they took off like weeds (faster than vallisneria, even!) and covered the bottom of the small 10g within three or so months. A rather sparsely growing plant, though; not sure I'd choose them for a carpet. Emersed- it was a similar setup; just a small plastic box with a hole cut out of the lid and some saran wrap in its place, with daily mistings.
I think they'd do fine with root tabs, though they may be a bit slow to start.
Can't remember if they're like echinodorus, where they hate being replanted, but just in case I'd probably trim the roots a bit before planting.
