Aquarium Advice Regular
just purchased a 50g acrylic tank - 36lx20hx12w. It comes with a 24" UL listed fluorescent light fixture. my question is - eventually, i think i am going to want to invest in some corals for the aquarium, and i am also concerned about the habitat looking it's best. do i need to purchase metal halides, or is there a very powerful fluorescent bulb(s) i can invest in that would work?? will 24" of length be sufficient to completely light a 36" long aquarium? thanks
