Lighting on a FOWLR??
Just wondering what peeps who have a FOWLR are using for light and what is the reason behind what you chose for a light?
|
Hey Grizz, back in 1993, I was running a 220 gallons FOWLR and I had never heard about T5 or Compact Flourescent lights at that time on the tank. I used 2 Actinic and 2 10K, I think it was called Super Glow light, something like that. And I never had any algae issue problem like I am having in my reef tank right now.

Was looking more for what people are using now in 2011. |
Tagging along I will be starting a FOWLR in the next year.

I guess there is no one running a FOWLR anymore :noidea:

in my 90gl i'm only running 4 t5 bulbs with 6 led moon lights. they are on about 9 hours a day right now...
and i am running that fixture because i haven't paid for it yet... (thanks cale262) lol! and it looks great! other wise, i will just continue to use t5 fixtures as i have no used for MH on the FWOLR... nothing in there to grow! lol! |

On my 180 I am running a coral life 3x150w MH. I like the shimmer effect of the MH.
I rarely have all bulbs on though, usually just the center, or the far left/right. I think I am going to look into a DIY LED in the future. |
