Hi everyone,
I am currently using an Aqualight pro Fixture. This is for my 40 breeder aga I have. This aqualight pro uses a 150w MH, and 2 65 watt pc's. For those that might not know. I'm sure many of you do though. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be enough light in my tank. Some of my Monti's are turning a brownish color. I have a Crocea clam that has lost some color after coming from my dealers tank that housed a 400watt mh and T' 5s. So, a big question. How should I upgrade my lighting? I know that Nova has a T-5 fixture that can be linked with up to 6 other t-5 fixtures. Each T-5 is only 21 watts. Should I go with that? Another option might be an extra 250 MH I have laying around. I didn't want to use it on this tank because it made my apartment very hot when I used it on my 150g planted tank. =/ Didn't like that. I also do not have a chiller. What would your suggestions be? I'd like to house more Acro's Mille's and clams. I'd appreciate some advice. TY.
