Hello everybody,
I just bought a lighting system for my tank. It is a 48" power compact lighting system. It has four 64 watt bulbs two are normal bulbs and two are the actinic. It isnt making my tank as bright as I would like so I started looking for higher watt bulbs. I found a package of four 95 watt bulbs and would like to get those but I had a few questions.
Will the current fixture support them it is a oddysea?
Will I need a new ballast?
Will it make a noticable difference of brightness in my tank?
Also I have one more question its about my frag tank. I have a 10 gallon tank that I would like to dedicate to coral frags. My last frag tank was a two gallon with a 12 watt power compact bulb and they loved that. Right now I have one 12 watt light on my 10 gallon which isnt near enough. I wanted to use led lights but I wasnt sure if they would work. I saw some on ebay that said they were for growing corals but they were only two watts is that enough? I know they are really bright but is that good enough.
Thanks for all the help
