Is this considered low light for 100 gallon?

[RachPreach]

I currently have 32x2 ahs kits over my 100 gallon tank, which is very low i know. I do have 96x2 ahs lights already installed over the tank from when i had high light. i can either run the 96x2 or try to run one 32 light and one 96 light. Which one would be best if im not going to be using co2 injection?

I'd probably run just one of the 96watts (take out one bulb should be easy enough?) and see if that's enough. I'd think yes with AH's killer reflectors.

I'm not sure that 2x32watts will be enough, and using just one of the 32w with a 96w (at least as I'm visualizing it?) seems it would be hard to get the light evenly distributed through the tank?

I look and see how the lights are set up under the hood and ill try to demonstrate a diagram. thanks.

here is a rough diagram of the light set up.

--------96--
---32-
------32-
-96--

these lights are more squished together but obviously i cant do the exact distance of each of them but the 32 watt bulbs are closer together than the diagram appears. The actual number represents where the light is. Hope this helps

You could try running one of the 96 and both 32?

[RachPreach]

yeah that sounds good. Since each 96 bulb is on each end, i could have one on for the first half of the day and then have a timer turn it off and turn the other 96 bulb on to balance it out.

If the pic in your avatar is your tank, I think you need to show us a bigger picture....pleeeeze?

[RachPreach]

yes that is it..lol. It looks a little different now. Im moving into a new house in about a week so ill have to move it too. Once I get it set back up Ill have to post some pics. ill try to find that particular pic though and post it.
