Hi everyone! I just got a new 29 gallon tank and I'm looking to start planting for the first time. I was going to go the traditional route and try to get 2-3 watts per gallon, but of course I'm worried about trying to find the right lights and hood to fit the Top Fin starter kit that I have.

I just read about the Coralife Freshwater t5 aqualight double strip light in aquascaping World Magazine. Apparently the author of the article uses this light and has good results. It comes with a Colormax Full Spectrum and a 6700K T-5 fluorescent light. Has anyone had any luck with this setup?

They are a good light. The are well built. Will you be getting Co2 as well?
There are a few other options as well. Catalina uses the same housing as Coralife, high quality reflectors and gets good reviews.
