    I'm glad is working out, but I am a bit concerned with the safety of those cables, please be careful!

    I have 4x54w HO T5s with Sunlife Supply reflectors going into a 135gal tank, no CO2, and once a week dry dosing of ferts. This works out to be 1.7 w/gal. Although I can't seem to grow red plants very well, I do have three 24" tall amazon swords that shoot out new leaves every couple of days. The vallisneria in my tank need to be trimmed back 6" every week, and are still 6' long and have leaves almost one inch wide. Surprisingly, I'm even able to grow Blyxa Japonica fairly well. If you have CO2 going in, I think you will be perfectly fine. Try to find some reflectors as well, you will definitely notice the difference
