I have a 48" fluorescent hood. Does anyone know how I would figure out the strength of my light?
So would this put me in the medium or low zone? Or somewhere in between?A standard 4 foot tube would be 34-40 watts.

F40T 10/48" Natural Daylight
Marine land
Made in tawain
Also looks like C10 is written on there. Its a single bulb and the tank is 55 gallons
That's a 40w t10 fixture and the bulb is most likely around 6500K. Kinda low light IMO for a 55g tank. If you're looking to plant the tank, check out dual tube 4ft fixtures at www.fishneedit.com is my recommendation.
