You can grow a lot of plants in that light. The sword plants will grow well in that light. The large ones can handle it if you feed them by the roots. What are you using for substrate?

I have some jungle val going nuts on just 1.6 wpg. Recently took out a couple of 45" leaves. I also find that rotala can grow at this light level.

Is there a chart with this type of grading? Plants suited to specific lighting level.
