Aquarium Advice Regular
Hopefully this is an easy one
In my tank I have 4 Amazon sword and 3 Water Fern or Water sprite. The hood I have is an Aqueon which has a T8 24" Full spectrum 17watt bulb. It is just bearly cutting it with the fact that the tank gets a few hours of morning sunlight.
So Ive come to these two options:
1) Get a T5 24 watt bulb: 24" (HO,T5) Plant Grow 6,500K 24W- Aqua Medic
2) Or upgrade my current hood with a VHO ballast, ends and bulb which would allow me to be able to grow. A bulb like this: 24" (VHO, T12) 10,000K Aquasun, 75W -UV Lighting
There is a possible third which would be to fit two T5 bulbs into the hood. Im not sure which route to go. Any help would be much appreciated
