Ok?


Im not asking what watts i should get, im getting 65. I'm reffering to the type of bulb. As i currently have a 50/50 actinic, which doesn't do me any good.

I use basically the 6700K with great success, but recently I added 2-96w Sunpaq dual daylight-6700K/10000K and I love the look(a lot cleaner whitish look) and they seem to work just as well. Ive had them over a month now with no complaints.
 
Sorry for jumping in on your thread - but how are you getting to 65w over a 20g? Are you using something like compact fluorescent?
 
My bro rigged up an old incandescent hood over this 20g with CF - but i think his look like bulbs - 23w putting out 100w each. I'm wondering if he's got 46w or 200w.
