I have always kept plants but did not really get into it with increased lighting and CO2 until about 4-5 years ago. I had a 55 with the standard lighting (two 15-watts, I think) and even then I was able to grow certain low-light plants just fine, I just got tired of the dimness and wanted to see things better. I got a pair of shop lights and later my husband got me a Coralife 4x65w fixture, which was more light than I wanted, and I had to get very serious to keep things under control.
