T5's on a 29g

[would 2X24w T5's be enough lighting for a 29g 30X12.5X18.5 tank. My sister wants me to build her a mushroom tank like mine. Mushrooms and Ricordea and possibly a candy cane not sure about that one though. Any information would be greatly appreciated.]
 
[Ive never kept ricordia. That is plenty for mushrooms though. I will say this however, you never know what you might want to add in the future. So i would go a little bigger. Maybe with 3 or 4 bulbs.]
 
[No problems with what you want to keep I promise! Keep the Ricordia a little higher up as they tend to like a little more light then mushrooms but by no means require anything intense! Candy cane would be iffy but again if you plan it where it is only a coule inches below the water line under a day;ight bulb it should do fine!]
 
[Thanks for the information. I know she likes the mushrooms and ricordea. I doubt she will want anything else but you never know. I know right now she does not want anything really hard to keep and a this should be the setup for her. At least that is what I told her. She is a #### vet so she could do anything she wanted but wants to move slowly whick I agree with her on that aspect. #### I may set one like this in my office rather then a nano cube but I think those cubes are hard to beat fairly good looking tank as well. Once again thanks for the information.]
