So I'm taking baby steps towards plants. I've started doing some research and reading articles but I'm a little lost as to what I have and what is needed for easy, low light plants.
I have a 37g tall. The hood it came with is rated for 17w. I just bought a GLO light that says it's 18000K, 15w. It's 18" long. It shines kinda bluey purple. Also in the hood is a little, round cyclinder that has two metal posts and does a 1/4 turn to lock into place. It's say 22w. I have no idea what that is.
So how do I figure out what my light per gallon is? I know I saw it in a linked article or thread I read on here but I can't find it for the life of me now.
Any help would be appreciated!
