I think I'm in trouble again.
I recently purchased a whole bunch of plants of the internet, they will probably arrive in less than a week. I was looking at my new aquarium and I noticed that the hood has 2 Eclipse Natural Daylight F15T8. I'm guessing it's the 18" light bulb because I measured it and it's like 17.4" without the pins. Now I looked it up on the internet and found out that these 18" bulbs only have 15 Watts of light!
and here are the plants I ordered...
Does anyone think these plants have a chance in a 55 gallon tank w/ 30W of lighting? I can't find any 18" bulb that has more than 15W to add more wattage!
Somebody please give me a suggestion! It's a lot of money!
