I own a 46 gal bowfront. It is heavily planted and has a CO2 system. The light I use now is the Hagen GLO double 36" fixture. I notice that my plants grow but not sure if they are growing to their best potential. As of right now I do not meet minimum 2 wpg minimum. Which is better for this set up, metal halide or Fluorescent? Is 150 W an ideal wattage for my tank?

Need help.
