new2discus Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Would one 4ft light be enough (with the appropriate bulbs) for a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank? Asking as this tank is deeper and wider than standard 4ft tanks, would the light be reaching down and across far enough for all the plants? 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetom Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 all depends on how many plants you want. If you just want a few plants may be ok, but I'd go for a couple more. By one light do you mean two tubes? If so you may get away with it, you won't get an amazing planted tank but the plants won't all die off.

alanmin4304 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have a tank about that size (pic from Caryl's trip to Ch Ch) and the plants grow well. It has a double 4ft light (daylight tube) going 17 hours/day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
