I have a 29 gallon with a nova extreme t5 ho 48 watt light fixture. One 10,000 k and one 6500k, it is raised about 2 inches above the tank

That sound like it should be more than enough light to grow pretty mich anything

Ok thanks, what makes it enough light. Cuz its less than 2wpg, just wondering because what i read in the past when i was just starting with planted tank that you need 2+ wpg

Now with all this new tech, wpg doesnt mean much...

Even with the same lengths and watts,T5-HO puts out a lot more light than say a T5, and T5 more than T8,
Heck i've seen led spot lights at 5 watts produce more light than t5ho
