wow, i did not think it was that long... i still would put one on each end point twords the center of the tank (or butt to butt at the center)punky said:That is no problem lol .. the good thing is that this bulb takes 220V directly without ballast. So do you think that I would need another one or just one will do?
no you have 200 watts over each end of your tank .... but either way you look at it, you still have a vey high light tank...do the bulbs come in 100 watts? :?punky said:The only thing that is not yet clear is that if I put 2 .. I would have 400W which is a bit excessive I think.
