20 gallon lighting


I'm looking at adding new lights to my dilapidated tank. I last had 3 10watts 2 "sunlight" on my 10 gallon and I just moved everything into a 20 gallon. I want to add some zoos and some leathers/mushrooms. I need to redo my 3 bulbs system because they're burnt out and it's over 4 years old and has tons of rust built up in the connectors. Should I look at using power compacts(or something different) or just stay with my current 3 bulb system that I have now and add a bulb or two to it?

Welcome to TRT!!

I'd definitely consider adding new lights to the tank. While PC do work, you may be better off with a T5 setup, as it will probably use less electricity while putting out a lot more light. what are the dimension of your tank? I'm guessing 24" wide, but I'm not certain.
