Default Lighting in 15G

A much cheaper solution with a glass top is to just get a second single
light fixture. It makes it a pain at feeding time, but saves a few bucks.

All glass makes a twin tube strip light that will give you 30 watts over a
15 gallon tank if you have a glass top over the tank.

The other issue I have is that I'd really like to increase the light
levels in there. I presently have 15W, but I feel that's not enough
for the plants ....
.....Bearing in mind the
depth of water is only 12", should I bother with more than 15W?


For a 15 gallon tank, in order to grow plants well, I'd go with
atleast 30 Watts. Preferably 45 Watts. Also look into DIY CO2.
