A bit more than a year ago, I bought a Topfin 29gal starter kit from Petsmart. It came with a 20 watt fluorescent light...which still works today. I have different types of plants in my tank... 1 melon sword (which grows very fast!), 2 types of grass, 2 amazon swords, and 1 Anacharis.
I keep reading that to grow live plants, you should have atleast 2 watts per gallon. I only have 20 watts for a 29 gal, which isn't even one watt per gallon...
So why do my plants seem to be growing so nicely?
I am new to planted tanks, so if there is anything that I am doing wrong or anything, please feel free to comment
