You'll have a much broader range of plants. I'd also suggest that you start thinking about nutrient dosing, as with that amount of light you should have a very high plant density. I'd try to find a source of NO3, PO4, Carbon, and micros. I like the flourish line, or the dry ferts from www.gregwatson.com. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

Which ones will I need? -Flourish Excel -Flourish Iron -Flourish Phosphorus -Flourish Nitrogen -Flourish Potassium Thanks for the reply...and also how often and how much will I add these? p.s- The tank has Eco-Complete Substrate

You can always work your way up. From the seachem line I would use: Flourish (micros) Excel (carbon) Nitrogen (NO3) Phosphorous (PO4) The others I would only get if I felt I needed them, eg: found holes in leaves, or other signs of nutrient deficiency.
