planted tank lighting

[Batboi3000]

I just saw a Coralife T8 bulb rated at 10,000k on petmountain.com as well as Amazon. I am wanting to pick one up for my 125 gallon. Just trying to grow some Java Fern in that, and this bulb should take care of most plants if you have a T8 fixture. Looks like one of the better T8 bulbs i have found that would be good for plants.

yup found some of those as well, and i kinda know what plants i want, so i want to do a carpet of dwarf hairgrass, amazon swords, anubias, and java moss, so with how many T8 10,000k do you think ill be okay

With a 75G, i would say absolute min. Would be 2 bulbs, but 3 may work a little better...

In my 60G, i'm running two T8's which is running 1x 6700K and 1x 10,000K bulb and have managed to grow hair grass, although i also use Co2, and nutrient rich substrate which im sure also plays a part
