Lights for a planted tank
I have a question about the lights. I have a 75 gallon and would like
to start adding plants. I can get either T12 dual shoplights, or T8 dual shoplights for $7 a piece. Each T12 is 40 watts so, for 3 shoplights that would provide 240 watts, which is a little over 3 watts per gallon. But the T8's are only 32 watts each which would only be 192 watts or about 2 1/2 watts per gallon. I've also seen fewer variety of bulbs for the T8's. Which would you prefer? Thanks! Greg |
