hey hey yes as others have stated you are looking at 3wpg, assuming you have 2 30w floresant tubes and they are not incandesant bulbs then you would actually have very low
WPG. And yes the member who pointed out that c02 is pretty much needed at that level of light has good points (I would use less light if there was no c02 in the tank). Also other fast going plants (pretty much any stem plant will do) would be needed to soak nutrients from the tank or algae can take off real fast. If you don't want to mess with c02 in either pressurized or
DIY, I would stagger you lighting if you can, IE run one bulb for like 3 hours both for 3 and back to one for last 2 to 3 hours of lighting. As you really don't want to run your lights for more then 8 to 10 hours or you are giving algae a bigger window then it needs.
Ferts really only become a big issue if your dealing with high light and c02 as your plants will consume nutrients and
ammonia and nitrites etc at a staggering speed under those conditions. With slower growing plants like what you have in anubias and java fern they will take nutrients quite slow, so your fish will pretty much provide them with almost everything they need. And they and will do better with lower light levels if your not doing c02.
As far as root tabs and fertile soils go, any plant like yours and java mosses etc, have no need what so ever for root tabs or fertile soil, it would be a waste of money, as they are water coloum feeders and take there nutrients from the water not the soil. When you start getting into swords and crypts etc that is a very different story, they are heavy root feeders and get the bulk of there nutrients from the ground they are in. I have crypts in my tank that have massive clumps or roots that extend about 3 feet from the plant when I look up to the bottom side of my tank from inside the stand.
Oh and as for your question to me, I am in Squamish BC about 45 min north of Vancouver and about 45 min south of Whistler.
