This is the website for ESU, the parent company for coralife. This is the freshwater deluxe light which has 4 65 watt bulbs.

This is for the 4 96 watt bulb fixture, however you will have to switch the bulbs.

So if i go with 260w which puts me at almost 3.5 watts/g. Are there more plants that i can add or am i still limited to the previous list of plants?

The plant list opens up. However, you will have to start looking at pressurized co2, and good ferts in order to avoid an algae bloom. With high lighting like that expect to see cyanobacteria (slime algae), brush, and beard algaes.

with your lighting system you are getting about 2.3 watts per gallon which isnt bad there are some plants the will and wont thrive in the lighting for the best advice try aquaticplantcentral.com there is alot of good info
