Hi,
When I figured lighting for this tank and stand, I somehow got it into my head that the A.H. Lighting kit was 18 watts but it is 13.

Now that I know that it is only 13 watts, I'm worried that 2.36 watts/gallon will not be enough. I'm thinking that I should put another 13 watt light in.

Sugestions, comments, ideas?

Thanks

Randy

I'd put another 13w kit in. What you have now is low light.

2 - 13 watt lights would meen 4.72 watts/gallon.
Seems a bit high.

yea if it was a bigger tank you would be true, for nano tanks you want a higher wpg though

I would also add more. I have a Coralife 19W fixture over my 2G hex just to grow java moss and najas grass for my Cherry Shrimp. The light does sit about 3 inches over the tank though.
