newbie lighting questions
On Fri, 19 Mar 2004 02:27:50 GMT, "gdbjohnson"
bubbled out the following: Third: What is the best way to add light to my tank, if I do need a second lamp? Do I need to replace my hood? It's a Light-Glo. I was thinking that I could cut it up, and somehow attach a standalone light to the top of the hood. My tank is about 12"x24"x12". A 12" x 24" x 12" tank would be 15 gal, not 30 gal

There are various options for you can choose from. Some options, in addition to providing light and heat. Others just provide light. Buy light bulbs, while the production will kill two birds with one stone.

Lighting is necessary for your fish and any plants you may have in your aquarium, but remember that lighting also adds beauty to your aquarium.The type and wattage bulbs that you use will depend on whether you have live plants in your tank. If you do, then you need 2 to 5 watts of light per gallon of water.
