how many watts per agllon do i have??

[One_Trick_Pony]

i have a 30 gl tank and i have one orginal tropical lamp with refelctor, at 30 watts

and one daylight tube that came in the juwul tnak again with reflector again at 30 watts.

now this may seem a simply dub question, but i read somewhere that although the total is 60 watts divided by 30, ie 2 watts per gallon

i mathamatically have 2 watts per gallon but dont not have a blub intensity of two watts per agllon, ie the blubs are only 1 wpg of intenstiy??

am confused, will this light be enough to sustain plants??

should be enough! more important is the Kelvin temperature range (5000K-6700K is most ideal)....if they aren't full spectrum bulbs then they may not grow plants as well
