Is the two-bulb enough for high light plants? If not, would this one be better?: Odyssea T5 Aquarium Lighting

What size fixture for that price?

Perfect! Thank you

Do you have a link for the four bulb T5 fixture? The link you posted first is a two-bulb fixture

Would two-90 watt halogen flood lights be sufficient for a 20 gallon (tall) planted tank? The lights seem to be very bright. If not, any cost effective suggestions? In the range of $80ish or less, thanks.

Update:

Maybe for the gene pool, but there are so many hybrids already out there it's hard to say that it will affect anything anymore...If you hybridize just keep the ones you want and cull the ones you don't

Yes, I've bred multiple species of mouth brooders. Most mouth brooders will breed with each other so I would be careful of the stock you choose. You can breed dragonblood's fairly easy just get 2-3 female dragonbloods for your male (I'm guessing it's a male), keep up with your tank maintenance...

I'm not too familiar with dragonbloods, but if they're anything like most peacocks, the males usually have significantly more color.

I'd guess dragonblood peacock

That is an awesome idea!

Definitely! Except I have many more plans for the tank before it's actually done. Custom 3d background, substrate change (from play sand to tahitian moon sand), and a complete stock change (right now I have a breeding trio of OB peacocks, lots of babies as old as August 2012, mystery snails and...

Awesome ideas! Gonna try the double bright LEDs with the tops first because I have a peacock eel that might jump. And if the tops get too dirty I'll just toss em. Thanks guys!

Looks great! I guess I'm going to have to make a canopy or something then because my lids won't do me any good with a light like that :(

Sounds good! I'll be looking forward to those pics, thanks!
