I need a light for my 29gallon because the 15-20watt fluorescent tube is just not cutting it.

Will the fixture in the link above work? Do I need to get an all glass canopy or will the normal standard canopy work?


Would this be better?

Aim for 2 watts per gallon for a low tech tank.. Yes, you will need glass types for most any light fixture that sits above your tank, unless you are going to have an open top tank.. Link doesnt work for me either.

Personally, I prefer to build my own.

Where could I find the components or a kit to do so?

Check my signature for the thread on my setup...also read the comments, others have done it as well with their own little twists.

From what I understand, the Current USA Satellite is better suited to marine/reed aquariums, since it runs a 10000K and an actinic bulb. I think the Aqualight, with the 6700K bulb, would be better for planted aquariums.

*I'm new to this, so I'm not 100% sure about anything.

all fixtures can have there bulbs swapped out for other bulbs
