flourescent lights

[stingers81]

hey guys
i have two 40W flourescent bulbs right now...I want to replace them with something new...something stronger

What bulbs should I get? any good ones around that everyone is using???

cheers

metal halide

not sure if this is what you ment....but you can't increase wattage with just replacing the bulbs

 

[stingers81]

oh i thought so...but i still thought i would give it a try....too bad i will have to wait until i save some cash then....until then do you think ill be ok with 80W for a 65g FOWLR?

what do you have in the tank? any coral? fish only you will be fine and maybe some low light corals, but other than that i'd wait until you have better lighting

if it's a fowlr, the light you have now is no problem at all, just right.

yeah, with a fowlr u don't need anyintense light, just whatever you want to view it with really
