Cool , as for lights got a t5 ballast for next to nothing , as for bulb i found a T5 floral bulb I think it said like 5500k or something like that

T5 bulbs are going to push you into high/medium light and you'll need co2 and ferts.

Not to mention they are expensive as all get out.

[notenoughtanks]

So low light = less co2&ferts

Ive been dying to do a planted guppy tank with a 55. Stock it heavy once and you got guppies for life, Now instead of using feeders from the store you can use these and youll have a beautiful fish tank as well.
