I am a college student in the unfortunate condition of being broke and into planted tanks. This combination leads to my question: I am starting up the biggest tank I have done yet (and I dont have too much experience with any other sizes, to be honest) and am not sure if I have done the lighting right. I have a 95 gallon tank that measures 36 inches long by 25 deep and 24 wide. I bought a greenhouse metal halide grow light (6600 nm) and ballast both rated at 400 watts. My question is whether or not this setup is too much light and if there is something about using designed-for-greenhouse lights that is bad.
