I know that plants etc require special lighting and Coralife light fixtures are recommended for such. Those fixtures are expensive also.
So why not just put a 6700K or more light and fit it in a regular flourescent aquarium hood which comes at a fraction of the price of the Coralife fixtures?
Is it not possible to do so? Just trying to understand...
I got a 55 gallon glass tank whose bottom is really not desinged to rest on a surface. The hinges on the bottom edges are what rests on the surface while the glass seems with no other support. Isn't it risky loading up this tank?
There is a sticker on the glass bottom that says that glass has been tempered to stand weight. But tempered or not, ain't it too much for a piece of glass to support so much water, decor etc in a 55 gallon when the glass bottom itself is not resting on the surface of aquarium stand? I have the tank filled, but every day this keeps bothering me!
thanks
