q about effective lightning
Hi,
I am still on my quest to add more lightning to my 36" tank. I am torn between a 96W single light or a 2X55W bulbs solution. What is the effective watt for the 2X55W considering that they are I believe 21" PC? Obviously it is not 110W although I will be paying for that rate. Is the 96W a better option, although it costs more to buy and the bulbs probably cost more to replace, even if they last for a year or two? Plant wise, will it make a huge difference the 96W versus 55WX2 combo? I would imagine the 2X55 would still provide enough light for healthy growth while not promoting algae growth too much compared to the 96W! Is this a correct observation? Would it impact the plant cycle if instead of having the 2X55w on for 12 hours to only 11? It would be a way to reduce hydro costs. Let's read your opinions. Thanks |
