New lighting - new technology????
I have re-read some of the posts here and I decided that I am going to supplement my lighting with 2 26W compact fluorescent bulbs & I as I need a new 175W bulb I am going to get either a 6500K or 10,000K.
The total cost for the 2 compacts, sockets and cables will be about $80 - $90 and then I have to install them in my hood which shouldn’t be to big of a problem.
This will then give me:
1 175 W MH 6500 or 10000K
2 26W compacts which is suppose to equal 208W
2 30W actinic
This should provide me enough light to keep everything happy anywhere in my 33G tank. Also if I increase the size of the tank to a 4’ 18” wide I would upgrade the MH to 250W and then use the compacts as a supplement.
Any big reason not to do this?
Cheers,
Patrick
