Light setup
How does the strip light that came with my 50gal tank along with a shoplight
fixture with the same ballast hanging above the tank sound for enough light? |

It depends entirely on what you want from your tank. If you
want healthy plants with growth you are going to have to spend a little money. Because of your earlier post and questions I went and measured my 2 x 55 watt kit installed. The main components are the reflectors 4" W x 2" H x 22" L each, the bulb and plug assemblys @ 22 1/2" long but this will require a inch or so of clearance to get the bulb in the sockett. The Ballast is 8 5/8" x 1 5/8 but mine is mounted outside to the back of the hood. My hood is a custom home made but measures 47 3/4" inside. It has a 1 1/4 " fan in one end and still has enouugh room for 2 x 55 watt kits. So if your hood is even close to 48 inches inside you should be fine. If you want some pics drop me a note.
