Hey guys am a noob in the game here and I really love the look of mini DHG and am planning to do a 15g (54l) 24x12x12 planted tank with some Seiryu I only want DHG java and Christmas’s moss and a few other low light plants.
I am aware though if I want a carpet I’m going to need mid/high lighting My tank is about 11inches deep with substrate say 10 inches. Will this light support carpet growth of DHG mini

Lumen: 3100
LEDs: 60x 0.50 watt
Config: 52x 6500K, 8x Actinic
2 Modes: All on / 8x only
Timer Ready
Product information 60cm - 24"
I have also heard that I will need co2 to promote growth and reduce algae but as there is a lot of technicality involved, which I love, BUTI want to do things properly and get my head around the info. I am aware of the Finnex but my top budget is £50 pounds and I’m ordering from the US to U.K. All I can find is the NICREW but I know this won’t be enough
I have read somewhere about and T8 and T5 HO in a DIY Fluoro setup is this still possible/ efficient
Thanks in advance
