Lighting

I have a couple of plants now and they're not doing as well as I had hoped. My tank is 20 gallons and has a 15w compact fluorescent bulb. From what I've read I should probably upgrade to about 2w per gallon. Can I just buy and bulb that is 40 watts that fits in the hood or do I need a special bulb?

Thanks a bunch

you should look a t the hood and see what the max rating is. Then install what ever dosent go over the max rating. On another note what is the plant your trying to grow?

If you can't get an additional light strip, try low light plants: http://plantgeek.net/plantguide_list...=1&filter_by=2
