Does anyone here have a 37g Via Aqua Tank? I believe the light tubes are 23" in length and are not a standard size i can find easily. Can anyone tell me where to look if i need lights?

Also, I am curious if i need to replace the standard lighting with something better. I currently only have some fish and LRs. I wanted to know if upgrading the lights will be more benificial to the fish, or LR. Also, are there lights specifically used during the day and one for nights?

Thanks.

You can check ChampionLighting.com--they have a good selection and are reasonably priced.

For fish and LR, NO lights are fine. Photosynthetic inverts won't do well in your tank, but fish don't care.

There are Moonlight bulbs available, but they aren't really a big deal in FO setups. Mostly, they give you a different viewing option, and are supposed to help encourage corals to spawn in the tank. There is not a need to light the tank at night though.
