2. If I decided to have only a few plants, might this even be too much
light?


no. Even if you only put in one plant, it still needs decent light
levels. Except for plants blocking the light, the number of plants
doesn't effect the needed light levels. If a plant needs medium
light, it needs medium light regardless of how many plants you add.

A twin tube setup would be the minimum required, and won't cause algae
problems if other conditions are good.
