Growing sphagnum

How much light is needed for growing sphagnum in a good way? Is 2*54W T5 over a 100cm tank enough? Is it at least moderately fast growing if in good circumstances? Thanks!

I bought a cheap venus flytrap kit at lowes last year, and the sphagnum included with it did alot better than the plant lol. I just kept it on a end table by the window. The majority of the bottom is all fresh growth, nice and green. Suprised me though haha

I'm afraid that is probably just an algae growth that seems to colonize dead sphagnum and make it look dark green. It fools us all at one point until we see real, live sphagnum. Here are some pics though, to judge for yourself. First I'll post a couple shots of the dead, "algae" sphagnum. (Check out my Vanzo wondering what the heck I'm doing in there!)
