The t5s are good for now. But later, as they get bigger I'd get more. Maybe 4 more 24s. Or 3 more 54s, t5s.

Thanks mate, +rep

What makes a T5 really shine is a parabolic reflector behind each bulb. As you do not have reflectors, a lot of the light is being scattered rather than being reflected down onto the plants. You will eventually need more light, so I recommend checking out light suppliers who deal with aquariums. You can obtain single units like you already have, but they contain the proper reflector for maximum effect.

Here is an example:

There are PLENTY of planted tank/marine tank people in BC, so you can most certainly obtain them locally or from a Canadian supplier. Hope that helps and best of luck with your ventures!
