Aquarium Advice Addict
hi. i have been a member of this forum for a long time. some of u guys may remember me. i used to post ALOT. but alot of my free time is occupied now so i havent been on. but ya. my 15 gal tank is still going strong but unfortunatly my light has burnt out. i thought it was justa bulb but i replaced it and it still did not work. it is this unit here

my question is..... i also have a fresh water planted aquarium running 4 20 watt t8 bulbs. so 80 watts total output with a mirrored reflector. i know PC lighting is more efficient then t8 but would 65 watts of PC be equivilant of 80 watts of t8. i am obviously going to change the bulb set up to accomadate the saltwater. i was thinking about just ordering a new 65 watt PC light for the freshwater and leaving the 80 watt t8 on the salt. i am just after a few opinions on the light set up. here is a pic of my tank cause i dont want to describe everything in there. only thing that has really changed is the anenome is no longer there. he outgrew the tank.
see the thread below for additional information.
