:shock: what the hell have i gotten myself into.... i just bought a new tank after having been out of the aquarium loop for a few years.
i need help understanding how i can upgrade the lighting (and hood?) that came with the tank so i can grow some plants!!! some sites have light's on-sale but they don't look like they will fit in the hood that came with the tank. what can i do :?: thanks... |

I went to HD and got 7 screw in compact fluorescents and the fixtures for them. had plenty of wire already so I wired them up and have 3.5w per gallon. HD here carries a 19w 6500 daylight bulb that is great. I have watersprite and macaya(?) that are floating on the top. Cabomba will take over if I let it. In all I have about 75.00 in the canopy including lights. Here's a link to my hood (hope it works)!!
