Aquarium Advice FINatic
I bought a tank from a guy out of the paper several months ago and I have just started to set it up. I'm a little confused about some of the light set up he has (its all diy). Here's some pics. There is for 2 24" bulbs (40 watts of T5). The part in question is the smaller fixture in the front. I'm not familiar with these kinds of lights. They are like little halogens and I can't tell how much light I am going to get from them. It says max of 20 watts on the fixture, but I can't tell if that's per bulb or total. Also I'm not sure about the little holes under where the bulb goes in (see the last picture).
Basically I am wondering what the heck kind of lights these are and what they mean to my tank. The tank size is 33 gallons and I am trying to figure out what I will be able to do with this baby.
