 | 36in light for a 48in tank |
tetratech  Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 4241 Kudos: 1074 Registered: 04-Nov-2003   | I'm thinking about going from a 46bowfront to a 72. I currently have a Current USA dual cf light that is 36in. Anyone know a way to use this light over a 48in tank. My Scapes |

If you raise the wattage of the bulbs to say, 96 watts/ bulb, you should be fine. -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |
