Haven't been in the aquarium game for about 8 years. Have a 75(?)gal bowfront. Going to grow a good number of plants (the types and variety you find in those online pet shops special packages) and enough community fish to keep it interesting (along the advice or specs seen in those aquarium competitions (I know still very ambiguous).
Building my own hood for 3 or 4 fixtures - depending on the advice I get here. The number and types of light fixtures and bulbs have gotten stupid (in my opinion). I just want everyone (fish and plants) to be happy.
So, what selection of bulbs/fixtures (the Ts or compacts, or regular fluorescent lights) would y’all suggest. I’m not on a budget per se, but I don’t like spending more money then I HAVE to - I’m a Buick/Honda kind of guy (quality, but right in the middle).
OK. Thanx a plenty.
If convenient to the responders you can email me at kweku414@aol.com (<<<is this ok to suggest in this chatroom?)
