On 17 Apr 2005, the world was enlightened by huytonhead's opinion about...


i have been on a website called plantedtank.com and there was something
on ther eabout using shoplights and it said that they were no good as
the light is not concentrated enough.


Lucky for me my plants have never been to plantedtank.com.

I'm using two Lights of America shoplights with two, T12, 40watt bulbs in
each. Two GE 6500K daylights and two GE Plant & Aquarium wide-spectrums.
My plants are doing very well. Could I have better reflectors? Sure. But
what I have now works well enough.
