Default Lighting? Help a newbie?

Hi Dustin,

I also have 29g tank.
I have 2x55 fixture from ahsupply. I built my own hood for it.

Bulbs are wired up with switches that allow me to operate them independatly

I understand what people mean when saying that some experience is desirable
when going with high intensity lights.
I had an unbelievable explosion of algae shortly after I started using new
lights. At this moment I won over algae by letting fast growing plants to
grow wild. I have to do weeding out very often. Other plants are catching
up. Overall I am very happy with the tank right now and don't regret having
two 55W bulbs. Besides being bright enough to grow pretty much any plants,
it allows me to mix bulbs with different colors to my likening

still warry about building my own. Would this hood do the job, and if so
