Lighting for a 5.5 nano

Parasite · 03-24-2007, 10:05 PM

I lookinh for a good place to find a compact florecent lighting retro kit for my 5.5. I would like 26 watts at the bare minimum. My hood is only 16" wide by 8 1/4" deep and 41/2" tall so it has to be a pretty small set up. I also have a 120 gal. so I really don't want to dump too much cash into this set up.

Thanks,
Brett

Thanks Kelli.
What bulbs are you using? I like the color you are getting in your tank.

Also sorry to hear about the troubles.

Thanks,
Brett

I have 1 10k and 1 actinic bulb running right now

I've since turned this tank into a QT tank for my sick Blenny

Hey dobejazz,

How far down dose your light set up hand from under your canopy? Just need to make sure I leave plenty of space.

Thanks,
Brett
