onsetofputrefaction asked:
Just got a 29 gallon Marineland Kit from Pet Supermarket. There is a hood included but it does not meet the lighting requirements needed for a planted aquarium,2-3watts per gallon. What are some reliable brand names? Which parts would I be looking to purchase to increase my lighting to atleast 60w.? Any help is greatly appreciated, TY.

Chewey asked:
I have a fluorescent lighting controller for one of my fish tanks that is rated for a 600mm x 26mm diam 18w tube. Power supply is 240v 50Hz. Can I safely put a longer tube (ie 900mm) in this unit?
I also have a controller for a 450mm tube at 15w and would like to know how much more light I can get this to power.

Sally asked:
I was originally thinking a FO set up, but if I can just use the lighting that comes with the tank, I would buy some live sand and live rock. That way, In a year or 2, I can just replace the lighting and get corals and anemones to make it a reef tank when my financial rescoures are better. How much would MH, T-5, or compact flourescent lighting be for a 55 gallon tank?

I want to get more lightning for my live plants to thrive. Im looking now on ebay at coralife dual lighting system with lunar lights. It comes with a 10k bulb and a blue actnic bulb and then the lunar lights. Is this a good way to go for freshwater or should I go another route.

twkillingpack asked:
I am looking for the most cost effective lighting. I have a 55 gallon right now with a hood and standard flourescent bulbs. Is it possible I could just change the bulbs to special reef ones for around $30 at my local pet store or do I need to buy new fixtures. I am going to buy anenomes and jellylike looking plants. Any help would be great thanks!

Stacy asked:
Please be specific, suggesting brands would be really helpful, links also! I don’t really know much about lighting except it should be 5000-6700 or something like that. Also would coralife compact fluorescent bulbs work good for a planted 10 gallon?

How much lighting do live rocks need?
Joel asked:
I have a hood that can hold three 15 watt flourescent lights.
Im getting two clown fish im setting up the tank it has sand that has settled with water. Now i just need to get the lighting right for the live rocks.
This is my first salt water tank I need all the help i can get with setting it up. It would be cool if someone could just give me a list of things I should have for clown fish.

What type of lighting should i have in a 67 gallon tank with Cardinal Tetra’s fish?
Mmmmm a bit fishy asked:
I have just bought a tank 36×18x24 and the light they gave me for it is 18 watt florescent light.
I personally think it is far to low for plant life.

I don’t want a bright tank because i have read Tetras do not like to much.
What would you advise for this tank?
Keeping in mind that i need light for a heavily planted tank.
Will my plants die with the lighting i have at the moment?
