quick question on my lighting...

althea2you · 01-07-2008, 08:36 PM

yes another Q on lighting... i have actually been meaning to ask for a while but kept forgetting! :P... so i have the nano cube, 28g, and we decided on getting the upgrade on the lighting. its 150w/14,000K HQI. is this a good lighting system? like if i wanted to get a clam...(not for a long while) would i be able to keep one.. happily. not just surviving but thriving? thanks all.. i am just really newbish about lighting and dont understand watts, VHO, yada yada yada, i dont know what it all means like if 20,000k is not as good as 10,000 k, thats what im guessing.. so just a little feedback on what it all generally means, or somewhere i can look... and if my lighting is a good lighting system..!!! THANKS!!! :P oh, sorry, i thought it would be a quick question!

you would easily be able to keep a clam under that light, i would suggest a 20 000k bulb because it will give you both white and blue spectrum.
