    Hmm, I didn't think o flooking there. But I just ordered 2 online 100w 5100k bulbs like on Melvsreef.com

    The 65 I have will have to suffice for up to 5 business days shipping.

    the more closer to the red and yellow spectrun or as cool of K as you can get the algae swill do better a 3000 simple house flood lamp bulb is great and the plant grow bulbs are best.

    your phosphate is probably pretty low too, something the LR only tanks miss...oh wait lots of pages....replying way back there....oh well/

    If you get a flood light like Tangster said, make sure you don't get halogen. Waste of energy and heat. Better to get something more efficient.
