Hi I have a 30 gallon but I have a question I have 2 t5 39w lights but I have a lot of algae I have taken one out so I was wondering will one t5 39w light bulb be ok? I have only java fern java moss n vallis n over low light plants will it be ok? It has cut down the algae problem jus didn't no of its ok for the plants

yes, a single t5ho light is plenty of light to grow most plants. Unfortunately people tend to overdo it on the lighting when they first set up planted tanks, looks like you are getting it under control though.
