What lightset to use for 3x2x2

[dales]

Thinking of using 3ft t5 4 tube lightset.. Is it too much light for aquarium that size? I want my marsilea to grow as carpet..

I will recommend MH 1 tube light set to punch through the depth of the tank.

Will 1 mh cover the entire tank? Hmm..

MH has got several options for lamp. 75W, & 150W bulb for all I know. You may want to do some research.

That is a tough one for 322.
You have a tank depth of 2 feet, you need strong lights to penetrate to the base for the marsilea to grow as carpet.
If you get the light right then it will be good but if you get it wrong.... its recipe for algae.
I have a 322 myself and i am using LED.
For 322 you need to carefully plan the type of plants that you can plant in it.

What led are you using and hows the growth like? Any carpeting plants in your 322?

Yea might put MH into consideration.. But it produce quite a pot of heat.. That concerns me..

I am using tube LEDs, i have Echinodorus tenellus as grass for my foreground, so far so good.
