I wen with what you said and I am getting the light you linked me to. I should get it on Friday for like $45. That has 2 18 watt bulbs plus I'm still going to use the 18 watt bulb I currently have. Will that be enough to do most plants? It's oly like 1.9 wpg. The tank does get some sunlight too. What kind of light do you have on your tank?
