Planted tank lighting question!!?
I have a 29 gallon tank that I would like to make into a planted tank. I have never messed with live plants before, so not to sure what to do. I know though that the original light ficture that was on the tank will not be adequate for live plants. I have two ecconomical options below, just not to sure which is best, both are T5 fixtures, one comes with Colormax bulb, the other comes with a Colormax bulb and a 6,700k fluorescent. I plan on going with low light plants, but with this lighting setup will I be ale to go with plants with a little more of a lighting requirement.
