Another lighting question...

[mrramsey]

On the new 72g bow front I need a light for my plants (when I get that far) Wondering about using the same one I have on my planted 55g -http://www.bigalspets.com/fish/light...x-54-w-48.html

It is 48" and 108 watts. (Should be about 1.5 - 1.6 WPG the 55 is probably more like 2 WPG)

Thoughts?

I am currently using two 6700K (or 6500K can't remember for sure) bulbs of T5HO lighting on my 90 gallon which is 24 inches tall. I can grow easy to care for, low to mid light requiring plants, without having to worry about algae.

I would think a two bulb T5HO fixture should work for you as well, provided you to not want high demanding plants

That's what I was thinking as well. Thanks for all of your help and suggestions Cliff!
