This is a two bulb t5ho odeyssa fixture over a 5 gallon temporary tank. I put this gallon bowl at the end with some of my anubias and java moss in there. Now it's at the end and the bulbs are kinda dim at the ends, I was wondering if this would suffice to sustain the plants in there for a while. What type of lighting would someone consider this? Thanks everyone

At point blank range, T5HO give off a lot of light. Odyssea fixtures will put off less light than your average fixture, but it's still a good amount of light.

So...

Sustain: yes
Light: medium to high

Only issue I see is that stagnant water and high light might lead to problems with algae, but short term it will probably be ok.
