it's for a 20gallon high
They are both the same wattage only one has a lunar light.
Is there any benefit in having no top on the tank and having the light hang above (if I get the first light I'll get the leg mounts and take off my glass top)
Or is it just a matter of preference?
I plan on keeping the following Low to moderate light plants:
Cladophora aegagropila
Java Moss
Java Fern
Rotala, Indica
Anubias Coffeefolia
Anubias Nana
Anubias Barteri
Borneo Fern
Crypt Wendtii
Of course that list is subject to change
I made it with the lights I have on the tank now in mind (2-15 watt regular bulbs) but I decided that it would be well worth it to invest in a better light bringing me from about 1.5 watts per gallon to 3.25 watts per gallon, I think my plants will be much happier and it will make everything alot easier.
also I plan on using the Hagen Nutrafin C02 fermentor I have heard some people say that I don't need c02 but I plan on having alot of plants so better safe the sorry, plus I hear they max out at around 20 gallons anyways.
Before you guys suggest building my own c02 or light fixtures, I'm not a do it yourselfer at all and I'd rather just buy something that works right instead of wasting time and money making stuff half ass (that's generally how things I make turn out )
So what do you think?
