For my 2.5 G tanks I use 13W bulbs. Each tank gets half of an

Seven watter per gallon ought to work :-)



the watts per gallon does sound outrageous, but I don't see it as too
bright. In one tank some dwarf sagitaria does really well, in another
anubius grows about normally (slow), java moss survives, Echinodorus
tenellus barely lives and algae grows, but not too badly. There must
be a scale factor working here, but I don't understand it.
