I have an unusual situtation:
I do want to start a planted freshwater tank however I do only have the standard light that fits over a 20g high tank-
This current tank is 40 gallons BUT this size isn't sold anymore as it's a deep tank
it's 31'' deep 20'' wide and 18'' long
(If I got the gallon wrong then LET me know!)
I've been going back and forth in getting lights. I am trying to reduce the cost of spending on a light I need for the tank, so far I have noticed the
20" Satellite Compact Fluorescent 2X40W w/Lunar Light
is being sold on ebay for 98 dollars plus 15 dollars shipping. I do perfer to spend less and to save some money on CO2 kit too.
Is this a ideal light I need for the amazon type of plants?
I've always kept fish but never bothered with plants until recently. so Basically I'm a newbie in plants.
