I have a 38 gallon tank with silk plants that I want to convert to real plants.
so far I put in a small java fern. What is the right wattage for my tank?It came with four 10 watt bulbs. Is this enough for low light plants, and is it too bright for my fish??

4 cory catfish
3 sword tails
3 pristella tetras
3black skirt tetras
3 guppies

Thank you Shawnie

with four ten watt bulbs you have 1 watt per gallon of light which is considered "low light", 1-2 is low light, 2-3 is medium light, and 3+ is high light. java ferns would work very well

Also look for anubias and crypts, mosses of all sorts are always great.

Good luck can't wait to see it!
