I am obsessed - and thinking around the December timefram converting my 65G fresh to Live Planted.
I realize lighting and CO2 are important. I am wokring on better understanding CO2.
For lighting however, I am confused. For example:
"USA Nova Extreme 36" 2X39W T-5 10,000K - Freshwater"

^ Would be a properly sized light for my tank - However, that equals 78 Watts and far less than 2 WPG - I know WPG is not the golden rule, and many other variables come into play...but is this a sufficient source for most plants, or merely low light?
Please explain...
