I have two of the Coralife T-5 fixtures over my 20H. If you can get enough coverage from the single fixture, it is plenty of light for a low tech setup. I only overlap the two fixtures by about 2-3...

I have the Coralife T5's. I use 2 of the strips over my 20H and I am completely satisfied with the amount of light they produce. I run one fixture for about 10 hours and add in the other for about 3...

I have 2x28W over my 20G tank using these fixtures and it is more light than I can use while dosing just Excel.

That would be a lot of light! I have 4x14w (NO T5) over my 20H, and I keep reducing the already staggered photoperiod to slow down the algae. However, I do use only Excel for carbon, but the stem...

Cichlid Forum
http://www.cichlid-forum.com the best place to go, IMO. A forum search on "Gymnogeophagus meridionalis" yielded 100+ threads.

Tip for Prospective Peat Users
After you have your layer of peat on the bottom of the tank, don't add any water until that peat is completely covered by substrate. Even a cup of water and mulm is bad news.
