Thanks for the replies. One other thing though should I add an undergravel
heating cable along with the t5's.

An undergravel heating cable should improve the growth of your plants, but
it's an extra expense. If cost isn't a problem, go for it.

For more plant advice, rec.aquaria.freshwater.plants is good.

Please let us know how it turns out;
