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$. The same bulb at a hardware store costs 6$.

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.
