Howdy,
This whole lighting thing has me VERY confused. We have a 30 gal hex tank that is about 24" tall. I've been told that in order for the light to reach the bottom, we need more than 2WPG. So I just purchased online from marinedepot.com an 18in SunPaq Retrofit 1x96 watt Quad SmartPaq (view it at this link http/www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=CU01615
The description wasn't so clear, so does that mean I have to build a new hood (the current light hood came with the tank, a 16" single strip type). Will the lightbulb it (the new one) come with be OK, or will I have to buy new bulbs? If so, what kind of bulbs? Help! I'm clueless....
Oh, we have 2 amazon swords and a chain sword in the tank right now...
