Hi All,
I'm working on a 29 gallon aquarium. No CO2, just a few nice looking plants that are low maintenance. This is in a school setting with no budget (of course) The tank will have a glass cover. The current fixture is a 30" fixture with a 17 watt 24" bulb.
Which light fixture would you recommend? Which will have lower long term costs? Is there another that you would recommend?
Thanks!!
My two choices that I have found:
Coralife Aqualight freshwater compact: 1 65 watt 6700K bulb. I am guessing that I wouldn't need the legs then. This is $66 including tax. http://www.marineandreef.com/products/aqualight30FreshSing.jpg
T-5 Freshwater Aqualight (?) double fluorescent: 1 18 Watt colormax and 1 18 wat 6700K bulb price runs about $50 incl shipping. http://www.thatpetplace.com/Products/KW/aqualight/Class//T1/F36BA+0047+1079/EDP/47937/Itemdy00.aspx
