Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am looking at some different light fixtures for my 75 gallon FOWLR Tank. I am really kind of lost as to what is the best time of lighting. I am a little reluctant to go with MH lights, because of heat (I have a canopy on the tank).
Can anyone give me any recommendations on the following fixtures:
1)
Aquastarlight T-5 High Output Fluorescent Light Fixture $369
High output T-5 bulbs housed in a slim hanging fixture ideal for reef aquariums. Innovative reflector maximizes light output and T-5 bulbs distribute light evenly across the length of your aquarium for uniform lighting conditions. Features non-corrosive extruded aluminum housing, internal electronic ballast, reflector, protective glass lens, and two 72" cord. Includes steel wire hanging kit and 4-54 watt Aquablue (60% actinic blue, 40% 11000°K) T-5 HO bulbs. 48" x 8" x 3" high. 216 watt (4-54 watt bulbs).
2)
Orbit Compact Fluorescent Lunar Lights $254 (65watt) or $467(96watt)
Unique power compact lighting system simulates 24-hour day and night light cycle, ideal for reef aquariums with higher lighting requirements. Internal fan provides quiet and efficient ventilation. Includes Sun Paq bulbs (Dual Actinic are 420nm/460nm & Dual Daylight are 6,700°K/10,000°K), Lunar Lights, reflector, mounting legs, acrylic lens, two separate power switches and three independent power cords for lighting units. Square pin configuration.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help everyone!
