| Torch coral  | Lighting suggestions for a 15g high tank I want to get some suggestions on the best lighting for a 15g high FOWLR aquarium. I just changed the bulb on the hood. This hood (as well as the tank) is a carry over from my freshwater days. The hood had a 15W 18 inch single Aqua-Rays flouresent bulb. I just changed the bulb to an 18 inch 15W 50/50 flouresent bulb. 50% Natural Daylight 6000K and 50% Actinic Blue. Are there any retrofits for this size hood that would accomodate 2 bulbs? I just want to make sure I get the best thing. |

| Smilie Bartender   | Well, if it's FOWLR and you're happy with the look, I'd save the $$ and stick with what you've got. If you're determined to get more, you might check into a 32W PC retro. I don't think a 55W would fit a 10x20" footprint.

| Rabid Wolverine Reefer   | does the light fixture separate from the hood? some do, some dont. if it does, you can get a glass canopy and a second strip light and run both over the tank.
