 | Questions on a new light fixture |
just_one_more  Hobbyist Posts: 122 Kudos: 138 Votes: 31 Registered: 31-Mar-2004   | I am planning on getting a 30" 2x65w cf fixture for my 29g tank. Each bulb, however, is about 20-22" long. This leaves a small gap where there is no bulb. My question is this: does this small gap cause a lack of performance at all? |

This is A LOT of light that might not be used by your plants depending on what kind of plants you have, and whether or not you are going to be heavily dosing CO2 and other ferts. Otherwise, you may just end up giving algea more light to grow with instead of your plants. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients |
