I have a 29 gallon tank and I have a is shop light that fits the aquarium. It has growlights that you use in greeenhouses I have some java moss that is growing good but I was wondering if this hurts anything.

Using a shop light is a perfectly good means of illuminating a tank.

Okay good. I was just wondering if this can hurt my fish in anyway.
Thanks!

Nope, just make sure you give them a break at night for sleep, shop lights are a great inexpensive way to light a tank, especially when you don't plan on doing anything more than low maintenance plants

Just wondering, would halogen light's work for a planted tank? I mean like flood light's that are 100W.

Halogen lamps are much less efficient than fluorescent bulbs for the same amount of power they consume. In addition, they put out a lot of heat as well.
