Do I have enough lighting? My tank is a 15 high and is 19" tall. I am running two normal output 15W lights. I have 1 Hagen AquaGlo and 1 Hagen PowerGlo. This gives me a total of 30 watts. The PowerGlo is 50 Lumens and the AquaGlo is 35 Lumens.

Looking at the Color Spectrums, It looks like the AquaGlo is a little better, but the PowerGlo is much much brighter. I do not have the PowerGlo installed yet. It is still in the mail, but should be delivered tomorrow. Would I be better off going with two PowerGlo's? I will have an extra.

Thank you.

Color spectrum is a personal preference. Whatever looks pleasing too you.

That's a good amount of light to grow most plants. If you start to see algae issues, you'll probably need to add co2/excel and fertilizers.
