Hey guys, I have a 48 in aquasun LED light over a 55g, no CO2. Each LED is 1watt so 24 in all. Their output is 6000k. With proper liquid/substrate fertz, can I get away with any medium light plants? Or just low ones like java and anubias, etc?

According to the WPG thingy Im assuming no. What would be proper lighting to keep medium light plants like amazon swords and some crypts?

I think the crypts would be okay, I love red wendti crypts. The swords I'd be iffy on. 55 gallons are pretty tall, so you'd be receiving significantly less PAR at the bottom, depending on substrate depth. it'll probably live.. but it might melt down and stay pretty small with that amount of light.
