Anyone run 65 watts of PC on a 29 without Co2?

School is about to start and I could use the extra $ from selling my Co2 equip!

I tried 34 watts of T-5 for a day, but it was a little too dim for my liking.

I used excel for a while, but now use DIY co2. I think you would be fine with excel, and for a 29, it wouldn't be that expensive. Less than $10 per month or 2.

Yes....here is a shot of my 29gallon no tech tank.

29g, 2x 36watt CF (72watts total)
No ferts, no Co2, tap water
Substrate is caribsea cichlid sand.

This is my cherry shrimp tank, I also breed Honey gouramis in there. The pics are about 5 mos old. The E. Parviflorus (Tropic Marble Queen) in the center is about 14" tall now with a dozen or more leaves.

Here are some riccia rocks. Riccia grows great, but does not pearl.

Good point, I forgot about Excel. I even have a couple liters that haven't been opened yet.

Alright Zezmo, I'm sold. Beautiful tank!

Looks like I will slowly start making the transition. Thank you both.
