hello, Im making a 29 gallon viv. for poison dart frogs and live plants, i want to keep riccia moss,broms, and creeping fig. I have an ESU tri-light with 3 40 watt compact flourescent daylight 6500k grow bulbs.( There the energy saving bulbs you get a homedepot) is this enough light to grow the plants i want? Thanks
 
Probably, if you have decent, downward aimed reflectors above the bulbs.
 
Maybe even too much light... Hook em up and check out the heat generated by those things and if your mosses fry underneath them.
 
I know you have seen my water fall CAL i have a ton of light on the riccia only diadvantage to alot of light is you can start to develope mold/ or fungus not sure which it is that i get but it can be a chore to kill off again. also there's something to be said for slow plant growth.
 
I have a total of about 40 watts of light over my 20 gallon tank, and my plnats grow like there's no tommorrow. You'll be fine with that amount of light.
