I have an Aqueon t5 fixture with 1 10000k and 1 6700k bulb. (54 and 28 watt)Is that enough wattage for my plants? Its a 55 gallon tank with; amazon sword, moss ball, java fern, anubias, and micro sword(is dwarf hairgrass better if i want the whole bottom to be lush like grass?) im feeding the plants co2 once a day and seachem fluorish twice a week. :thanks:Am i doing enough?

Is the fixture T5NO or T5HO ???
Bulbs NO or HO ???

I saw your other thread. Are your bulbs and fixture matched up now ??

IMHO the tank looked too blue with the 10,000K
But that's just my preference.

I use 5,500K-6,500K Full Spectrum only in my tanks, I like the warmer tone. My one LED fixture is a little to "cold" looking for my taste.

Wattage is trickier with T5s. I don't know. I use CFLs.
