tHEcONCH Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Decent double fluros are all you need on a tank that size - much more and you will have all sorts of algae and heat problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get halides that are under 70w? I think you can run a 150w bulb on a 70w fitting. So maybe get a ballast of something else? A bit OT here but was think about a halide for my 38L last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
