110g New tank need Lighting help/Info
Greetings all,
Thanks for all the great info. For the past week and a half all I have done is read this forum and look at link posted. Here is my question I Have a 110g tank 2feet deep. I have a canopy for it also. I need to figure out the lighting I will need to get. I was thinking about 5-6 watt per gallon. I want to get some anemones. I was looking at Http://www.aquariumlight.com/product_info.asp?dbid=373 But not sure if this is any good. It does not say it is electronic. Also what bulbs would be suggested Any advice would help. If I am going in the wrong direction let me know. If anyone could post a complete setup (and links if possible) I would appreciate it. (At least get me in the right direction) Thanks for all the help. Mike |

Get electronic ballast instead of magnetic. Run much more efficient and stay much cooler.
