That comes to just over 2 watts per gallon. It shoud be OK if you stay away

i have a 125g tank i want to make into a planted tank. it will be a
"general"
planted tank with just the typical plants you get at stores..no really
fancy
stuff,. would two 96 compact flourescent light strips with my original
two 30W
tube lights be enough?

also, do i absolutely have to have a CO2 injector?
