Plz Help!lighting

[Luniz]

Any Ideas on how to upgrade a mirabello 60 aquarium. I have a 15 watt Florusent light at the moment. The tank is 60cmx30cmx30cm long. Has anyone got this tank and have upgraded the lighting. I want to grow some plants in the tank. I have co2, fertilizers and everything but the plants arent groing so well. My amozon sword has completely stopped growing so I guess the lighting is what's stunting their growth.

Cheers in advance

I'd look around for a "retrofit kit" with a pair of 36watt 6700k power compact lights
