Hi. I'm new to this community. I have some questions that I hope can be answered. First I will tell a little about my tank. It's a 55gallon tall, came with hood with one (1) bulb fixture (paid $50 for it and just sanded and reinforced the stand with custom shelving) I'm just starting the cycling. Have two heaters for 300 watt total a Marineland Bio Filter 350, a power head for circulation. For substrate I used black sand topped with eco-complete brown-red gravel. Have pygmy chainswords, banana plants ludwigia and a fern, also a couple pieces of mopani with java moss tired to it. Having a hood with only 1 bulb fixture I put in a Aqueon 36" daylight 6.7k plant bulb. Would the lighting suffice? I also plan to add dwarf baby treats and some lava rocks. Any suggestions is welcome. Thanks.. I am also going to make a DIY co2 system using a paintball tank
