Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a 55 gal kit that came with two 18" 15W bulbs, which I read somewhere is essentially only lighting enough to "see" vs. being in the dark. I'd like to have a few live plants in the tank that have low light requirements, as I plan to keep it low-tech. What kind of lighting should I really have? I'm assuming what I currently have is pretty inadequate even for what I would like. I thought I read somewhere 1-2 Watts per gallon. Are there any other considerations? Thanks!
