Default wattage lighting for BIG tanks

gallons and those over about 90 gallons. If you can get your 125
gallon tank up to about 250 watts you will be fine. I run 220 watts
over my 55 gallon tank and am very happy with the plant growth.


I have exactly 1 watt per gallon in my 110 gallon tank and my plants grow
like weeds. If I had more growth I'd have to prune more than once a week,
and I just can't imagine anybody purposefully going through all that trouble!
