You can have relatively high light with a Walstad tank, especially if you don't have window light to supplement.

I would not risk underwater lights unless you know what you are doing with that. Instead, put the tank by a window or keep the floaters and emmersed stems trimmed/thinned enough to allow light to reach down.
