If I have a 100gal tank and 110wat of plant growing floresent light.
Will my plants live or die????????????????????
18"deep tank 4'long and 18"wide

It totally depends on what kind of plants:)

Java ferns, anubais, some crypts, anachris/najas will likely all grow just fine.

For the future: If I understand correctly, you're using a bulb specially designed "for plants"? If so, those are generally over priced (by a lot) and you can just use a regular flourescent light (from, say, Home Depot) that's between 5500-6700K or so. For example, a "plant bulb" at my petstore costs 25$. The same bulb at a hardware store costs 6$.

WoW that blows my mind because i thaught that the light had
a ranbow spec to it. But If I can use enay
old light then i will bye from home depot.

18"deep tank 4'long and 18"wide

A tank that is 4 foot long, 18 inches wide, and 18 inches deep is around 67 gallons. Not 100 gallons. That does make a significant difference in many aspects.

Are you sure about those dimensions?

Ah...devil's in the details. I didn't bother checking dimensions. Watcher, you're so good.
