Aquarium Advice FINatic
Just set up the 40 gal long (cycled too). We put in 4 blue legged hermits for now. The question I have is lighting. Originally I had planned on putting in two 96W PC (one 10K, one actinic). I DIY'd the stand & hood. Right now I only have NO florecents (one 10K, one actinic, both 25W). The lights are 8 inches above the water.
My question is because the lights are so high above the water, would I still get good lighting & light penetration w/ two 96W PC's or would it better to use MH & PC combination?
Any thoughts & suggestions are welcome!
BTW, the tank is height is 17 inches.
Thanks!
