So I'm setting up a 55 gal tank that's 48x13x18. I figured with 3 inches of substrate or so it would be about 15" deep. I don't want to go with c02. How much PAR at the substrate would be "too much" for a non c02 set up? I'm just keeping things like Java fern Amazon swords anibias nana tiger lotus water wisteria and rotala. I would like a little room to branch out with out plants possibly but I don't wanna be burning my tank or causing algae blooms, but I supposed I could just lessen and split the photo periods either way? I was looking at LED but anything that has lunar and is programmable with a timer to do dawn and dusk on its own is about 300 bucks, so I was looking at doing t5. The 55 has the big center brace with two separate versa tops 24" on it so I was thinking of doing two dual t5s instead of 1 long 48" but I'm not sure that's going to give me the look im trying to achieve.
