i currently have a 24 dx jbj nano cube. and i recently just set up a 16 gallon bowfront tank which is in the cycling process. the dimensions of the tank are 20 x 13 x 18 (L W H). i plan on adding a pair of sea horses, probably H. fuscus. I will also add colorful macro algae, gorgania, and mushrooms.
I have been searching for 20" fixtures and am stuck between a couple models. I would prefer something that gives off the less heat since sea horses generally prefer a temp of 75 and i do not want to purchase a chiller.
There are 2 PC models i have seen:
Dual Satellite Power Compact from Current 80W (currently $99 at DFS)
Coralife Aqualight Quad Tube Compact Fluorescent 96w
($130)
Or T5 HO
Current Nova Extreme Pro Saltwater 108W (232W)
I know 80W will be enough, but i need the light to give off little heat. If you guys can give me some recommendations that would be awesome!
