105 Gallon Planted Tank

[Mako Man111]

Now, I know what your thinking. My stocking would be horrible for a planted tank, but I'm not so sure. My fish really do not dig a lot, and I'm just trying to imagine an oscar swimming through a field of amazon swords

But anyway, the tank's dimensions are 48"x18"x"28" I know the tanks pretty tall but I think it won't be much of an issue in a low tech tank.

Now my question is, what would be the proper lighting to make a tank of this size and depth grow good? How about 2x65watt Compact Flourescent 6700k bulbs? I found a 48" Coralife Aqualight fixture that meets those needs perfectly. It would give me around 1.2wpg.

And ideas would be great.

For low-tech that lighting sounds about right to me, on such a large tank the WPG things doesn't as well. Would think 1.5ish WPG would be getting towards high light for a tank of that size.
