ok, i'm getting my butt back in gear on this 300gal.
I'm re-building the top. (long story, didn't like old one.)
I have a question on the lighting.
I have 2 - 4' shop lights that hold 2 - 40w tubes each. (4 tubes total)
I have 4 - Aqua/plant tubes from Lowes.
Do i need to have "Aqua Tubes" if i don't have live plants?
At 160w total, thats .5 Watts per gallon.
Is that ok, just to see the fish?
tank is, 7'L x 3'W x 2'T
I love using the shop lights - shop lights are $7 each, and tubes are $5 each. total spent $34!!!
let me know what you think on the lights.
