enough light?

[green_fox]

i have two 54 watt 6,400 k life glo t5-HO bulbs on my 75 gallon tank. (48"l, 18"w, 20" tall) will this be enough light for my tank to be decently planted?

yah, a decent low light planted tank. u got 1.44 WPG. it wont be enough for certain plants...

however, like i said u could grow low light plants.
