 | 30 gallon lighting suggestions |
exu Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 43 Votes: 1 Registered: 12-May-2004  | I want to get a new light for my 30 gallon. Going to just put on a glass lid and was looking into the dual tube fluorescent fixture. Curious as to what size I should get. The plants I have are some swords, wisteria,java ferns and java moss. I don't really plan on adding anything fancy plant wise. i like the wisteria as I can plant it or float it and it seems to grow fairly easily. I would like to spend only about $50 and was wondering if there is anything at big als you might recommend. thanks, |

| LITTLE_FISH ***** Little Fish ***** Master of Something Posts: 7303 Kudos: 1997 Votes: 670 Registered: 20-May-2005 | Have you had a chance to look at [link=This One from All-Glass]http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xm It should have 2x20w and will serve well for low light plants. Make sure that the glass top you have is wide enough to fit a double strip light though. Given your tank length, are you sure you have a 30G, or is it a 29G? If 29G then I know that All-Glass also sells the glas top specific for double strip lights. Hope this helps, Ingo |
