Hello All. I am planning a 65 gallon planted tank and am wondering if the two 55 watts lights I already have will be sufficient. I will be using CO2 in this tank. Given the depth of this tank (24 inches), is that enough? Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

T8? T5ho? T5no? T12?
 
Compact flourescent. I currently have a coralife 6,700k and what they call 50/50 which I believe is a mix of the 6,700k and some other color bulb.
 
You don't want to use the 50/50 as it is half actinic. FW plants can't use this spectrum of light.
