I'd like to attempt a 20 gal long tank with some plants. The one plant I know I want in there is some HC. I see a lot of posts stating that it requires a lot of light but then if you get T5HO, you don't use the wpg anymore. I was thinking of getting the AquaticLife T5HO dual fixture 30" 48W Freshwater from Foster and Smith. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+13822+22134&pcatid=22134 Would this be good for HC or should I get a different light setup?
I have heard that the HC also needs co2, so I'm going to be looking into pressurized systems for that.
