I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction for lighting my tank. Currently I have the standard fluorescent bulb that came with my hood, i think it's rated at 30 watts. I'd like to get into the 2-4 watts per gallon range and was wondering if I have to buy a new fixture and bulb? or can I just insert a VHO bulb rated at a higher wattage?
If I have to get a new fixture, what should I get, VHO or PC? When my tank is done cycling, I'm going to be planting a variety of plants that need "moderate" lighting. I will be stocking it with gourami's and rainbow fish. And it's a 46 gallon tank, 20inches deep. See sig for more tank details.
