Hi all... looking for a lead on a decent lighting solution for a 5 gal high tech planted tank. I currently have a 27W clip on the back CF fixture. I am thinking I want to just about double that wattage. The tank is only 14" wide. It is hard to find decent looking fixtures to fit the tank.
The current fixture is just a tad underpowered for what I want to grow, and I also think on account of the bulb only being about 8" wide, I am not getting enough lighting in the tank end to end, even though it is suspended a few inches above the tank.
