I was looking into getting This for a to-be medium planted tank for my German Blue Rams. How does this look in terms of growing plants well? Assuming everything else (C02, Ferts, Substrate, etc) are in line, will the lighting be adequate? I'm good with plants, and I can grow them well, but my lighting is extremely sub-par... I'm just using two lights that clamp onto things :ROFL: . Ideally, I'd just like to grow a little carpet of Glosso or Marsilea, with some Amazon Swords, and Blyxa Japonica on the sides and back. Nothing really fancy. So, I'm looking into that fixture there. So for the more knowledgeable plant-keepers out there, what do you think?

Well, after much research and reading reviews, I got a Coralife Aqualight 24'' 1x65w. Everything I've read says it's a great fixture, so we can hope. And if it isn't, at $70 for mounting legs, bulbs, and the fixture it self, I can always use it over a non-planted tank.
 
They are decent for planted tanks, however, you failed to mention the size and dimensions of the tank.
 
=P I did! I'm sorry. It's a standard 10g. 20'' long. So I'm hoping this Coralife Aqualight will grow what I need easily.
