Hi, I have a 65 watt over 29 gallons and right now I think this would be considered low-medium lighting. I've heard, though, that low-light plants thrive under 2 WPG. I'm inclined to believe this as my anubias right now is suffering immensely from algae and losing leafs after getting rid of a lot of the duckweed which used to shade them from the surface.
Also I'm moving in 8 months and I want to convert my tank to a low light/tech tank for my parents to enjoy even when I'm not there. Would 36 watts allow me to still grow low light plants as well as a few medium plants? I'm thinking of ordering the fixture from ah supply. Will my current plants like giant hygro or anacharis survive?
