I have a 55 gallon setup that I want to grow moderate to high light plants in. The tank has a division along the center so that I can put either 2 24" lights or one 48" inch light across the top. It came with a 48" 40W 50/50 bulb.
My plan is to get 2 65W bulbs to use in addition to the 40W I've currently got. My first question is, is that okay to do? Or should I not use that first bulb at all?
My second question is, is there any dis/advantage to buying 2 24" strips or 1 48" strip?
ANother question (sorry if there're too many questions...) should I get the 50/50 ones or the 6700K bulbs (I'm looking at Coralife Compact strip lights on Big Al's Online).
Thanks for everyone's response in advance... these forums have been an abundance of help.
