The planted tank is currently a 20L with a powerglo bulb in the main strip light and a standard bulb in a ten gallon light strip at the front. Real fancy, I know.

The plants have grown great under these conditions, however I have a 55 gallon i want to move everything into. I will obviously need new lights, the problem is I am overwhelmed with information ive read regarding what will be right.

Im leaning towards one of the dual T5 strip lights. Im only growing aponogetons, tape grass, and a few other plants, but want to enough light to try my hand at some harder sprawling type plants.

What do you say MFK?

This will eventually be a Discus tank, fwiw.
