hello! i have a 6 foot long 24 inch tall 18 inch wide 135. i am currently running dual t5ho with pressurized co2. dose flourish until that runs out then i have the co op version i plan on using. plants are doing ok. I want to upgrade my lighting to fluval planted 3.0 as i like leds more. would 2 36 inch fixtures be enough for it? any one have any other led recommendations for a 24 inch tall tank? plants are mostly low to medium requirements. thanks!

thanks! do you mean 2 3 foot for the whole tank or 2 three footers per 3 feet for 4 total?
Go with 2 of the 4' models.. they are about $30 more per fixture but will be worth all the extra light your going to get. I ran two 4' on my 220 and had great plant growth on a low tech setup.
You could do as suggested and run two 48 inch lights but I think two 36 inch ones would work also. That choice is up to you. I run a single 48 inch on my 72 bowfront which is a fairly deep tank as well. Plenty of light for low to medium light requirements.
My 72. The hornwort and water lettuce block some light if I dont pull it often enough. I used to run easy green and root tabs but I ran out and have not fertilized this tank in over a year. Simply been maintained off of light and fish waste all this time. I need to get more easy green though as I'm definitely seeing a slow down on plant progression.
