My 29 is still NO 20W tubes. At 3x20W I am better w/carbon supplement. A 4x20W, if I do not supplement carbon and other ferts I have hair algae city (even with the biggest, fattest Amanos around).

The substrate appears deep (RFUG), so the water column is not quite as deep as most 29s.

But 130w is too much for your 29. I wouldn't go over about 3wpg with CO2, 2wpg without. With more wpg than that you'll be into serious dosing ferts, which I know you don't want to do yet.
