Question on Lighting

[Sailfin]

Hi Folks,

I am setting up a 4 x 2 x 1.5 (HT) planted tank,

Planning on glosso for the whole base.. I am using a 4 x 54Watt T5HO with high CO2.. Is it more than enough or should i get another set of 4 x 54Watt??
Which mean total more than 400watt on the whole area..

Thanks in advance...

Cheers

Have you taken into account the depth of your substrate?...

Have your started growing them yet? or is setting up in theory only? One way to observe if you do not have enough lights is glosso growing tall instead of creeping.

I have just planted the glosso 2 days back and currently can see lots of bubbles coming from them...does it mean it growing well??
