:idea: Hi folks. I have a 55gal hex with a perfecto top. and there is two spots for a light hood. the one is perfecto and is 18.5 and fits perfect. but it only has 1 18" bulb that i bought at a lfs and its only 15watts.
I put another light hood from my 10 gallon on the second spot to bring me to 60w and man that made a big diff. i cant imagine the 120w im supposed to have. so here are my ?'s
1. what do you guys think my watt # should be for a hex? mod planted and would like to try DIY co2.
2. whats the cheapest way to get more watts? a new hood is 34.00 @petco and then im still at 30watts.
3. Would foil or any other reflector on the 2 light hoods work?
4. Should i just gut the two hoods and try and fit 4 socket type cf's that are 15w each?
o and i think the rexgrigg is out too. outta my price range that is.
Thankyou for your help.
