Maximum Light Over Juwel Lido 120 Before Co2 Is Needed?

What would the maximum wattage of lights over a 34g 61x41x58h before I need to add CO2?

Hmm I might just go high tech in June. Enough time to build pocket money and my birthday being there. I'll probably be able to afford a pressurised CO2 set with 55W twin compact T5s. That'll bring me to about 3.25WPG or more over 34g. Of course then I'll have to start EI.

Until then though, I'll go low tech with 1.5 WPG (Juwel High Lites) and Tropica Plant Substrate, I've been told that the all the plants I'm getting (bar one) will be ok in these low tech conditions. Then when I go high tech I'll be able to pick and choose my plants and add some reds.

You have enough light already to grow a beautiful tank. Check out this tank of George's (I post this on most the 'have i got enough light' threads.

although George is using CO2 it would also be OK to do it without.
