My 50 gal tank right now is a pretty basic set-up powered by two 18" nutrigrow 15 watt bulbs giving me a total of 30 watts of light. My tank however is fairly densely planted and I don't feel that I'm getting enough wattage to my plants as they tend to only make it about 3 months on average before needing replacement. I feed them regularly with iron enriched "plant gro" with every pwc.
My question is....how can I add more light without spending a fortune. I can't find any 18" lights that put out more than 15 watts. Is there some way to rig up some compact florescents that put out more power? I'm not sure. Any comments would be great. Thanks.
