darkfur Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I quite like to use 2 lower watt heaters instead of one big one, that way if one blows it usually stays warm enough for everyone to stay alive until you can rectify things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon1990 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 2 100W heaters or 1 150W heater should do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamefreek101 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 thanks might go with the 2 heaters in case of 1 blowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamefreek101 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 i was looking at the t5 ho 24" 61cm 2x24wat unsure about bulbs in there that you can make the stand bits bigger and smaller to fit tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 yep you've seen those lights on my tank. the steel legs come out and you can attach the braces to fit on the light and the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 well if you got with the t5 HO hood then you dont have much of a choice. if you get a t8. just get any normal cheap $5 tubes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
