I don't think "Necessary" but they are good lights none the less. Think about it... if they are great at growing corals then if you get the right "Temp/Spectrum" then they should also be great for a planted tank. At least in my strange/warped type of reasoning. Of course I don't HAVE or haven't had (at least in this sense) a planted FW but I have grown a LOT of plants in my day.

It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
