I'm either going to buy a hood or a new strip light for my tank. What is the difference between the different types of light? I saw a compact strip light with lunar lights on Big Al's. What is lunar light for? I just need some proper light to be able to keep live plants in my tank and, of course, safe for my fish. Please help with terms and any suggestions on brand names and types of light.
For example this light on Big Al's is described as this:
This Current USA Satellite Power Compact Fixture is a single strip light which contains 2 SunPaq SmartPaq bulbs and 2 Lunar Lights. Lunar Lights are small LED's which sit in the fixture above the bulbs. The SmartPaq Lamp is a combination bulb comprised of 10,000K and 460nm Actinic. The SmartPaq bulb produces 3 times the output of standard fluorescent bulbs and has double the life (12 months). This model has one switch.
Do I need all that for Comets and plants in a 75 gal. tank? Or a 10 gal. with a beta and a few other misc. fish and plants?
