Aquarium Advice FINatic
I'm kind of frustrated with my lighting setup. I have a flourescent fixture that I got from Home Depot that holds two tubes, and one that came with my tank that holds one tube. I end up, between the three bulbs, with a total WPG of 1.244. I have not seen any bulbs with higher than 32W or 48W at my LFS.
These two units on top of the aquarium glass are always in the way when I am trying to do PWCs or feed the fish.
Would stringing halogen lights across the top of the tank work instead? I should get a lot hight WPG. I'm thinking of those halogen lighting things from IKEA

I'm not sure how they would be for plants or if they would get too hot.
Any ideas?
