Not really, you're looking for around a 2 watt per gallon minimum, higher if
you're using CO2 as a rule of thumb (and of course for every rule I suppose
thereare exceptions but it's served most well)

Thank you for the services you provide to aquarists world-wide.  Despite
researching "Lighting," I am still in the dark and somewhat confused.

I have a 50 gallon tank (36x15x20 ins) lit by a single 30 inch "Power-Glow"
high intensity florescent aquarium lamp -110 Lux-25 watts.  Is this adequate
for good plant growth?

Please advise.  -  Noel Wise (Calgary, Canada)
