hi there,
i had a 20g tank running for a few months with an open top and a halogen lamp. got tired of the yellowish hue from the bulb and decided to replace it with a cf hood. so far i'm diggin' the improved spectrum. great intensity and color (10,000k).
here's a look.
in case you're wondering about the rack holding up the hood, it's made from pvc tubes from home depot.
----------------
20g long
65w cf tube at 10,000k
no CO2 (maybe i should)
pair of angels
dozen glowlights
4 shrimps
2 ottos
anubia nanas
java ferns
java moss
some emerged houseplant
