hey everyone,
My 30 gallon tank is through cycling, and before I even get any livestock (well, I have a snail) I want to address the lighting. Since it's a small tank, I want to keep it simple and only get a few clownfish and the obligatory cleaning crew. I do want to get a few soft corals and maybe even some marine plants to add some color to my otherwise drab tank, and thats where the lighting comes in.
I currently have the cheapo single strip fluorescent that came with the hood. From my research, VHO lighting sounds like the best way to go, but what exactly is VHO?
I plan to build a simple canopy, and I'm trying to figure out how to address the light situation (and mount some moonlights )
any help is much appreciated
