how does the wpg rule work with flourescents, do flourescents spread light evenly?,
for example say you had a tank with 500 watts (example) over half the tank and no lights at all over the other side, surely the side with the lights over it is going to be far more light intense that the other side?
I only ask because my (to be) tank will only have flourescent light over the side with rocks on, ...
so will there be half the amount of light over the entire tank ... or all the light over one half? does that make any sense?!
either way it doesn't really matter as i'll probably only be keeping liverock.
