Where would this fixture get you in the light category? Would this be low or medium light? And that is running 1 or 2 bulbs?

as I recall, it runs two 14W bulbs . . . so 28W total . . . a 6700K bulb and a colormax bulb . . . it is standard T5 (not HO) . . .

as my LFS, that same light costs $42 + tax . . .
 
Okay here are some pictures. Not the best planted tank ever but keep in mind it is basically just to grow food for my turts. Still need to clean up the glass a little bit and add an aquarium background.

First, I had too much water lettuce bc it grows like crazy so I gave the extras right to the turts for chomping.

Id look for a t5HO model, they are more efficient in terms of lumens per watt. nice water lettuce btw
Way overkill for the plants and the depth of the tank. NOt5 is fine. It's a good light, actually. I think they run a 6700 and a 10k?
