Guess... You will need to use a two feet light.

Is 55watt going to be too bright for a 35cm cube tank? Not a comment, just curious

There's a 24watt 40 cm lightset selling at NA. You might have have to use 2 though.

Or you can go with MH lights instead.

If fertilisation and CO2 is done correctly it is not an issue, but alot of work will be involved because plant growth will be really fast.
I have tried it on a one feet cube.. took a month to get the jap hairgrass to cover the cube completely.

just remember that with very high light, you left with small margin of error. Algae do grow faster if you mess-up
