Got a 330gallon and wanna try these things and see if they survive my guys.

Currently I have 2 twin t8 bulbs 4' on the tank.
In a month or so I will be converting to spiral bulbs and plan to run possibly 6 bulbs @13watts inside a reflective housing.

Would that light be sufficient weather its floating or planted on the bottom?

Tanks id say 25-27" deep
 
I put Parrots Feather in my 55 with stock lighting when I first set it up just to get some plants in there ( if you look at my avatar you can see a bit of it in that picture) and it grew.

It did have a tendency to want to lose fronds (feathers?) at the bottom and want to grow out of my tank but heck I have a pond full of it so I couldn't really complain stuff grows like a weed in there!

I say give it a try if you have a free or extremely cheap source it is a very durable plant in my experience and if you hate it in your aquarium you can put it in a pond this spring!
