While high levels of lighting are pert near impossible to manage without added CO2, lighting is what makes CO2 a good thing. Low light tanks benefit from added CO2, also. Of one is thinking about adding light or adding CO2, almost always go for the CO2 first, then add more light later if you want even more oomph (and maintenance). ;-)
 
One 55w over a 29g?  No, you don't have to add CO2 to your 29g, but it will love it if you do.

Tom,

For the purpose of clarification and admittedly perhaps I missed this, but
would you recommend adding CO2 to a 29 gallon planted tank with 55 watt CF
lighting. It seems that this might be right on the edge of using or not
using CO2.

Thanks.

Bob
