Hey Everyone,
This is my first tank and I've recently started buying little easy growing plants and right now in the process of making a DIY CO2 system. Hope everything goes well with that project lol. My tank is a 20gal starter kit so it came with the lighting and hood. (the hood messured ~22"? the blub is ~17") It only has one blub... now from what I have read people use two blubs... Such as two T5s. So im alittle confused. I understand the wattage pergallons so im wondering how this works lol.
Now my Questions are... (yes im new to all of this and just looking for help and advice )
Can I replace the blubs with new blubs that can fit with enough watts for plants, or do I need to buy a new setup for the hood?
Is there anyway I can change the unit under the stock hood and put in new lights?
I am a full time student so, budget is tight but I am willing to hear all options. So everyone that can help share your ideas and don't worry about the money, but cheap is better .
Thanks!
