95watts over a 29gal...Too Much??
Hi..
I'm about to invest in a light kit from AH Supply, which has been getting good recomendations from all of you.. Question? I want to get the 55watt power compact kit and use it with my existing double fluorescent which is 40watts...for a grand total of 95watts or 3.28 watt/gal. (plus reflector boost..62% more intensity?!?!?) I'm I asking for it with algae problems? I have a Hagen CO2 unit which seems to pumping a lot of Carbon into the water...roughly 33ppm according to the KH chart (PH 7, KH 11deg). I know that is CO2 is main concern for good equilbrium... Fish load is minimal... Am I going to regret so much light? Nick D. |

No algae probs at all. Keep your nitrates and co2 up and you'll be fine. N8 |
