I have 3 32W T8 Bulbs over a 75 gallon planted tank.

Bulb Specs:

(X 3) Natural Sunshine, 2950 Lumens, 32W, Temp 5000K.
total of about 96W

Is this enough light for a tank with these plants:

Vallisneria Gigantea (about 10 small plants, not very many)
Four Leaf Clovers (one small bush)
Micro Sword (kind of a lot, maybe 1/3 of a sq. ft.)

Lastly, these plants are in gravel. Is this ok for them to be in medium gravel. If not what can i do without ripping up the whole tank. Should i use some sort of plant nutrients or fertallizer?

you can see the micro sword in the bottom, the four leaf in the middle, and the val in the back.

I forgot to add amazon sword too. one plant maybe 12" long.

The question is what do i need to do to keep these green?
