koast519 · November 7th, 2009

my 29 gallon
ok so my t5 ballast want on and i'm on a low budget, so as of now i got my old light on on tank a coralife 50/50 20W 6,000k and a small 10W coralife 50/50 10,000k. i know those light are saltwater but i just wanted to if my plant will stay alive for now until i got a new light system. if so how long? i'm not try not make them grow fast just want them to stay alive. i'm also using Kent pro-plant..so will it stay alive

They should. The tank may look a bit odd with the actinic lamps but you still seem to have enough low level lighting with the right spectrum for photosynthesis.
