Aquarium Advice Regular
I have some newbie lighting questions: Right now we are using Satellite Dual lights, 4 x 65W 10K/Actinics. I want to get more light in the tank but don't know that I am prepared to go with metal halide. Apart from cost, my reluctance to mh is the fact that you need to hang them above the tank. My tank has a nice cherry hood on it that I would hate to have to remove to add light (the current lights rest on the glass, concealed nicely).
I'm sure I know the answer to my first question but I'll ask anyway. Is there any point in adding a second identical fixture? I'm thinking two 10K's don't add up to one 20K but hey who knows. My second question is does anyone know if I can replace my existing 10K bulbs with 20K bulbs? And finally, are you aware of any mh lights that have a low profile and could be placed under the existing hood?
TIA!
