    Can anyone tell me how many WPG I have using 2X10,000K VHO and 2X110W VHO Actinic bulbs in a 65g? Or explain to me how to do the math? I recently had my LFS configure new lighting for my homemade hood using a 4 lamp VHO electronic ballast kit. Being new to the hobby, one day I will learn to ask the right questions when I'm in the store!! ::) I only left them with the instructions that I didnt want to worry if something I wanted to buy would have enough lighting.
    thanks everyone...

    Well I will assume that your 10,000k bulbs are also 110w that would make a total of 440 watts divided by 65 being your tank size 440 / 65 = 6.77 watts per gallon John
