I scored on ordering new lightening for my 100 Gallon Tank

I ordered the Odyssea Quad T5HO 54wx4 and received it yesterday for $98 including shipping. The good news is that they sent me two of them . I'm debating if I should use both of them or sell the other Lightening System.

It came with lights:
2 10k Daylight
2 Actinic

I have:

Banana Plant
Java Fern
Micro Swords
Jungle Vals
Java Moss
Flame Moss
Anubias
Ludwiga broad leaf
Amazon Sword
Argentine Sword
Marimo Moss Balls


Is my light good for my plants? No CO2.

 

One should be plenty as most of your plants don't require high light.

 

Okay thanks. For some reason, I can't grow Dwarf Hairgrass, they keep dying. That is why I just bought a bunch of micro swords, hopefully I am successful with that.

Dwarf haigrass requires high light and CO2. Very hard to grow.

 

that is probably why mine died ;-). Now I know.

 

The actinic tubes won't do much in a Freshwater environment, so I'd consider changing them.

I'd look at using 6,700k tubes in combination with 10,000k. Most plants should do well with 6700k.

And if it were me, I'd consider trying to return the second light that you don't need (especially if it's a mis-shipment)
