    That would depend upon the plants you have.

    Hi bro, are you going for low tech or high tech? If low tech that would be enough.

    There are 2 ways you look at planted tank. Low-tech & Hi-tech.

    For low-tech tank 30 watts is enough.

    For Hi-tech tank you need about 72 watts. Base on 2-3 watts per gallon.

    Fissiden doesn't require bright lights, just give them cool & clean water will do.
