Hi everyone what's a good carpeting plant for low/medium lighting? I am a fan of pearl weed and monte carlo but I've found they potentially require a high tech setup to do.

In regards to the pearl weed I have, they are slowly starting to turn yellow on the tips/ends (this is happening at both the top and bottom leaves) and clue what's going on? I have no ferts, and no CO2 but I will be getting a DIY yeast CO2 soon.

I heard flourish excel may help it claims to be liquid CO2. And dwarf sagi is a okay carpeting plant. It does grow around 2-3 inches and so far it is doing okay in my tank No CO2 just a good light.

found this online
