Hello everyone, my old fixture finally stopped working after I accidently dropped it. I have been looking for a new fixture for my tank. I have a 40 gal breeder and it has been difficult finding one that fits my tank. I have been looking at this one for a while. It is a Power Compact 36" Aquarium Hood 2x65 Watts.
I know that is a lot of watts, but I want to stay around 2 wpg, but would like to go higher in the future. However I was thinking of only using one bulb, is this possible? Will my plants be okay? Or can I use other bulbs that are of 20 watts each, will this work on this fixture. Please help, my tank has been without any light for 2 days and I would like to order/purchase a fixture as soon as possible.
Thanks
Plants in my tank:
Anubias nana,
java fern,
anacharis,
hornwort
giant hygro
