Newbie juwel rekord 800

[Chr1sr85]

Hi I have just bought a juwel rekord 800 for a bargain price and have a couple of questions regarding lighting. It has come with 2x18w t8 tubes, is this adequate to grow all types of plants? in particular carpeting species? Obviously if co2 flow etc is on point?? Or will I need to upgrade the lighting if so to what?? Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Chris, how experienced are you with the planted hobby ? My advice would be keep the t8s for now get your scape up and running flow/co2 on point as you put it then upgrade your lighting if you feel you need to, I've grown most popular carpet plants under t8s.
