Lighting

Will 2 x 65W CF 50/50 (12000K/Actinic Blue True 03 bulb) 130w light work on a fowlr tank with a couple leathers and a couple mushrooms?

 

[AquaKnight]

How deep of tank?

 

[djlmedic]

55g 20in deep with 80lbs lr about 10in from top.

 

[AquaKnight]

Mushroom are definitely doable and the leathers are too, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom or get a crazy one like a Fiji Yellow Leather... Also if you can, get them from an LFS that already as them under PC lighting, instead of switching them from a MH...

You can do it and good luck.

Thanks guys. bluecarpet I see you have a yellow tail damsel. Are they real aggressive or are they ok with a community tank? Also do you run fans with your t5's?

 

[bluerug]

Well the yellow tail can be mean but mine seems to be ok for now, knock on wood. And i dont run fans on my T5's since my house is normally kept at 70 degrees all the time, we like it cold in my house. :lol:
