Default Lighting for Marineland 5Gal Hex system.

I wonder about "the equivalent light output of 50 watts
of light." If that's true isn't it waaay too much - 10wpg?


No. The "equivalent wattage" given is for 50 watts of *incandescent* light.
The wpg numbers thrown around here refer to flourescent light. Those mini
bulbs should be counted as 10 watts, not 50.
