What size ray II for a standard 10 gallon

HybridHerp · 11-29-2012, 08:04 PM

I love the ray II I have on my 5.5 and I figure that using it on my newly dirted 10 would be amazing. Just not sure what size to get

I would say the 18" atleast for the sake of best fit. What size do you have on your 5.5?

Not 100% sure to be honest, I believe the 16"

HybridHerp,

How high from the substrate is your Ray II over your 5.5 and does it put you at enough light to necessitate CO2 and regular ferts?

I'm thinking of the Fugeray or Ray II over my Fluval Spec V.

If you don't plan going high-tech with pressurized CO2, you'll want to get a 20" FugeRay instead of the Ray II.

I have to use a couple layers of fiberglass window screen with my FugeRay in order to have low/medium light levels in my 10gal.
