thats the thing, im not quite sure how much i want to spend. i want to do this right but when were talking like 3-4 hundred bucks for a light for a 20 gallon aquarium, thats just getting out of control. and yes the tank is 30" long, and i do believe the light i am looking at is a power compact fluorescent. its the Coralife Aqualight 65w single linear strip. as far is the going bigger, i have thought about that but then again, bigger light means more $$$... all in all, im looking to spend around $250-300 at first, and see if i can get the hang of it, then i we will see about the 75 gallon masterpiece after i graduate. as of now i have a heater for a 20g tank, and the penguin bio-wheel 150 from some old freshwater tanks that are not being used. other than that, i am buying everything else new(or at least new to me) |
