I'm not sure of the types of plants. Most are readily available in the LFS and in the "easy to care for" section.
The plant i have is a standard plant light.
It's called an "aqua-glow" that i bought at the LFS as well. It's 20 watts. But i think for the size of my hood, 20 watts is all that particular bulb comes in. Does it come in more? Can my hood take it without catching in fire?

So you're saying that i need at least 60 watts?
