Tank: 42x21x21 lbh.
If I want to have a High Light:
42x21x17 = 14994.
I want to use commercially avaiilable lights, not specially made for aquariums. For the time being I have a 'Bajaj 14W T5 2ft'.
Plz help me what brand, how many bulbs should I get? Can I use LEDs along with the T5s?

Best color temperature for planted tanks is in range from 57K to 65 K.
