Yes, such a thing exists, and you can enjoy it immensly. Target 1-1.5 watts per
gallon. But do read up on the Krib and elsewhere, because it is at this time that
you can most easily make good decisions about lighting and substrate.


That is exactly the range I am thinking about. 50 to 100 watts. I
think I am set on a 48" double tube design, now I have to figure out
the mix of bulbs. I currently have only a gravel substrate and am
thinking/ researching on how to upgrade that as well.
Thanks
