or would you suggest something else? id like the viv to be heavily planted.

If you want the plants to get all the light they need try a power compact light..

Hi Deranged Jester,
the double bulb flourescent should be enough for that tank.
Figure your tank depth will be 17" or less.
Depending on what bulbs ( color specturm/wattage) come with this fixture, you may want to upgrade to something more suitable.

Power compacts are great, however there is a trade off of a heat factor.
In that size tank, controlling the heat might be a problem, unless you are planning on venting the tank in some way.
