Hi everyone. Great site. I've been reading and researching this sites and other sites, but I'm certainly a newbie. I won't make the same mistake I've made on other sites and I'll start off by asking only one question.

I bought equipment that I thought would be good for a planted tank, but of course found Tom's article on low tech tanks only recently.

I have a Coralife 48" 2X65 watt compact light over my 48" 55 gallon tank, which comes out to about 2.3 wpg. Is this too much light for a low-tech, no CO2 setup?

I bought this nice light for my tank based on hearing 2-3 WPG, but I was confused with all the different opinions floating around the net. So is this light too much, and what should I do to rectify the situation without abandoning the light (for a low tech setup)?

Thanks,
Andy
