first time doing a planted tank!

Hi, I am going to start a planted tank.
I was wondering what type of lighting my 18" t8 15 watt floramax flourescent bulb provides (low/med/high).

I have already ordered some aquatic plants, all low light.
Two anubias nana petite, aswell as dwarf grass, and one crypt.
I will be dosing flourish.

What size tank is it? A single t8 bulb is likely to put you in very low- low light either way. I would not try dwarf hairgrass but crypts and anubias will probably be fine.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the size.
It is a ten gallon tank. The bulb I bought says it is intended for plant growth, but does not say anything specific. I know you have to get in that 6500 spectrum(?) range for optimal plant growth...
