this light has rwb leds but doesn't seem bright enough to support carpeting plants. I will have co2, root tabs, flourish trace and excel. anyone have par for this light at 8" or 12"?

lots of red plants and dwarf baby tears. will it be enough to support these red plants and carpet the baby tears?

what is your experience with this light or should i add another light or switch?

this tank is 12" cube

Older model (white/660nm red). Probably not much different from it.
Old model was listed as 5W........New one 5W

don't know what happened to the PAR chart from Finnex on the old one but it was 25PAR @ 12"
Not really ideal..but w/ good CO2 it is probably possible..

Probably shoot for higher..
