Lighting for 20gal long

[Matt Rogers]

@cerpin_taxt - The 70w halides run pretty cool. I have it close to the glass and my tank is running between 75 - 79 right now with a lid. I had a 150w pendant on it last year and I did have to run a chiller - an iceprobe with controller - during the summer. I might have to bust that out again this summer but I thought I would try it without the lid first and see.



@Morejongg - I was thinking you were talking about this Sunpod light. When I was digging around for 30" halide fixtures it kept coming up. I didn't like the idea of leds instead of PC or T5s.

Do you have a link to that Sunlight tech light you are looking at?

i see. only halide and LED no supplemental lighting.... neways i went with the current USA 2X65 watt PC never thoght my tank looked better. not keeping any SPS yet. would like to upgrade lights eventually though.

I had a Odyessa 2x65 PC on my 20 long for about a month while I waited for the halide to come... it was fine for my lps but my acros were not growing much, although they held on with supplemental food (rotifers.)

That looks like it would work good. Post a pic when it's setup.
