My Planted SA tank is done cycling, but before I add fish I need to buy a new bulb. My other bulb I have been using for the past 7 years so I think I may need a new one. Old one was a Aqua 20wat. From what I read I need a 30-40 wat so it comes out to 1 wpg T5/ 1.5 wpg T8. I just cant find a 24" bulb over 20 watt, and apparently that wont be enough light for my low tech planted set up. Any help / suggestions would be appreciated. The tank is a 29 gallon. The plants are Amazon sword, anubus, java fern, valli. I tried to get plants that wouldnt need to much light and NO Fertz/Co2
