1.) I just got a 2x 28w Coralife T5NO fixture in the mail yesterday for my 55gal. One bulb is...

Hey, guys. Another question.

I've ordered a Coralife T5NO 2x 28w fixture for my 55gal. Would this even be enough to grow swords, dwarf sag, and crypts?

If you assume low-tech doesn't use CO2 and high-tech does, then there are definitely differences in growth rates.

I LOVE this tank! Crypts are definitely my favorite species of plants and I hope (some day) that I can create something like this.
