I'm just in the process of setting up my new 150 Gallon planted tank. I
am
trying to figure out how many Watts per Gallon I need to achieve the same
effect as I have on my 50 Gallon. My 50 Gallon has 160Watts or 3.2 W per
Gallon. The tank is 24" high. I know you need less Watts per gallon on
largr tanks, but since this one is fairly deep, I'm not sure what kind of
wattage I'm going to need.

TIA

Ian



I have 3 36 inch strips of lights (all that can fit in there)... they are
each 25 watt bulbs... and my plants are doing well...
