Yes you can.

For a 29 gallon tank I would have no less than 40 watts for a low tech planted tank. 54/55 Would be better
OK... 40 watts...
Does that have to be a special plant light? Or any regular flourescent bulb that's 40 watts would do? Also, if i all of the sudden jump up my wattage on my bulb 2x or close to 3x, will the stock transformer and stock light fixture be able to take it?

thanks
