I just wanna get my info clear on this. I wanna buy a 12w x 30l x 12d tank...a 20 gallon.
obviously I wanna place plants that are " easy" and require medium lighting conditions...
echinodorus martii
myriophyllum mattogrossense
hydrocotyle leucocephala...you can eat this one!
lilaeopsis brasiliensis.
so looks like the light should be 40 watts based on the 2-3 watts per gallon ratio for medium lighting conditions. 4000 to 10000 kelvin and something on the red spectrum.
I hope that is not too much for a 12 inch deep tank.
any thoughts? am I on the right track? should I consider two tube lights of 20 watts each?
