another lighting question
Firstly, I'm upping the amout of light I have to what I think would grow
just about every/any kinda plant possible.... Ideally, I'd like a 4 light strip, but limited to a 30" tank... is there a T5 30" strip that can accomodate a 40W bulb? I've seen 48" strips and 40W 48" bulbs... not 30".... PCF is what I have, and it's pretty damned hot.... even with fans, they add to the heat sometimes.... also, what are the benefits of an electronic ballast...and where do you get them.... |

You could try overdriving your lights. I do that with electronic ballastics
from Home Depot. I overdrive mine X 4. Sam "staring@tanks" wrote in message ... Firstly, I'm upping the amout of light I have to what I think would grow just about every/any kinda plant possible....
