    Default To upgrade my crappy lighting or not..

    Well i've got .65 watts per gallon in my 46 bow front, i've got some anubias that grow quite slow, would maybe 1-2 watts per gallon make the anubias grow faster? any recommendations for a light for my tank?

    Those are pretty slow growing and low light plants as it is... 1 new leaf every 2 months or so... upping your light wont do much good accept let you grow algae more effectively, what other stuff do you have in there?
