Light Question

[molly100a]

On my 75 gallon tank I have a 2 bulb t8 shop light 65k bulbs from Home Depot and a 2 bulb t5ho light with 65k bulbs. Is this considered medium lighting. The fixtures are sitting on a diy canopy 4 inches above the top.

It'd probably be low end medlight.. what are your concerns? ?

Just trying to find out what level of lighting I have. I was having a problem with blue green algae but have seemed to correct this with many water changes and cleaning the substrate gently. I'm considering led lighting but have not made a decision yet. I may try one on my 29 gallon planted. In addition to maintaining with water changes, I have cut back on feeding, upgraded to an FX5 and have reduced the lighting. I think with my previous filter and power heads I was not getting proper circulation. I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions.

+1 that light will be around low-med, medium light. I would defintely recommend upgrading to LEDs if you have the money. They will take up a lot less room and save on bulbs.
