Can't work out the tank volume without a height, try this website and you can work out your wattage per US gallon:

Your wattage is 188W
By low level plants do you mean low light plants or low height carpeting plants?

Sorry about that its 2ft in height 15inch wide 6ft long.
I meant low level carpeting plants.

Thanxs for the reply.

So you've got about 100USG so nearly 2WperUSG. I reckon that you'd be ok just make sure that the CO2 is distributed t the bottom of the tank by either lots of filter flow or a powerhead
