The tank is 170 litres, 48x12x18. Will not have any live plants in it.

The lighting system I'm after is:
Hagen Aquaglow 30watt x 36inch
Arcadia Control Unit 25/30 watt for 30-36inch tubes

I'm not sure if the different brands will work together, or if it is high enough wattage for my tank?

Also, will I need to buy a longer length? (might seem like a silly question but someone mentioned they use a smaller length for their tank).

Iv'e read the help page on lighting and understood most of it but I'm still a bit new to all this and would appriciate advice! ]]> Lighting Shadowbeam http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/58028-lighting-my-new-tank.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/57860-energy-saver-bulbs-question.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 02:27:24 GMT Hi again all. after recently setting up my 63L planted Tank and spending a fortune on lighting upgrades, i have been trying to find a way of... Hi again all.

after recently setting up my 63L planted Tank and spending a fortune on lighting upgrades, i have been trying to find a way of upgrading the light on one of my larger tanks ready for my next project.

After seeing some of the DIY stuff on here I went to the local hardware store and got some new fittings. I have fitted 2x Bayonet fittings, The bulbs are "Natural Daylight" Spiral Energy Saving bulbs Bulbs. They are 12w each but the equivalent to a normal 60w bayonet, which value do I use to work out the watts per gallon?

I am wondering if I should add the 15W T8 setup that I have left over from my other tank or if the lighting that I have just fitted will be enough.

Thanks again everyone in advance for any help and advice.

My current aquariums are a 20 gal tall and a 10 gal with standard flourescent lighting. I ve only been into this hobby for 6 months and learning every day. Thanks for the awesome site.

Here is my question. I am setting up a new tank and looking for any insite on lighting. The tank in question is as follows
85gal glass 36"wide 18"deep 30"tall (it will be viewed for both sides)
no live plants
fish are mollys, guppies, platties, 1 beta, 1 alge eater more to come.

the lights I am currently looking at are
Current USA : sundial
aquatic life CF w/lunar LED's
coralife power compact w/LED's

opnions on T5's vs. power compacts

Thanks again for the great site looking forward to new friends and lots of info. ]]> Lighting furrylittle http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/57736-85-gal-lighting-advice.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/57507-correct-lighting-planted-tank.html Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:08:34 GMT Hi, I am planning on setting up a 42 gallon planted tank.

I am planning on setting up a 42 gallon planted tank.
What would be my best bet on lighting I was looking at a 70w matal halide with a 14k bulb but I found this to be the wrong kelvin for plants.
please help me cheers ]]> Lighting reef dude http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/57507-correct-lighting-planted-tank.html http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/lighting/57460-best-55-gallon-light.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:12:05 GMT I have a "hand-me-down" Oceanic 55 Gallon tank that I'm setting up (freshwater). The light it has is pretty old and can't be connected to a timer. Any suggestions for a 48" light? I may eventually want to have live plants. Right now, I'm just going to get started with some artificial plants.

I've looked at the Nova Extreme (model 1129). It has two bulbs. One pink and one white. It has a total of 108 watts. Anyone familiar with this fixture or can anyone suggest a good light for my tank?

Here's a link to the Extreme.

My 4foot tank has two floresent tubes and for some reason they both stoped working together my first thought was it was a fuse but after changeing that still nothing I checked the twin starter things but they were well seated and totaly dry. if it was the tubes surely just one would go out and not both at same time?
