And would it be enought light for a planted 96cmx44cmx61cm high tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 2 x 24w tubes would be considered fairly low light in a 2' high tank. If you wanted high light, a 150W metal halide would be perfect for a tank that size. otherwise, it go for at least 4 X 24W tubes, which would give you moderate lighting........

Dixon1990 Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 i was actually looking at the next one up, 2x 36W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 ahh sorry about that. yea, i guess 2 X 36 watt would work alright. not high light but it also isnt too low. could probably grow a fair variety of plants..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon1990 Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 The bulbs for the 54W are too long for my tank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
