Fish Crazy
Hi All,
Finally sourced some replacement cover panels for my Fluval Vicenza 180 so I can begin trying to modify the back panel to accomodate an extra T5 Light.
I think I can either fit another 24watt, or a 39watt Bulb. The tank is 180litres (Although I have realised that the usuable volume that the water can occupy is only 150 litres)
The standard lighting is 2x 24W so I have approx 1.5wpg - If I add a 39W tube, I will be going up to nearly approx 2.5 wpg.
I run Compressed CO2 and am going to start dosing TPN daily - I have a heavily planted tank, will 2.5wpg of T5 be ok, or is that too bright for the fish?
Will there be a massive improvment over the 1.5wpg?
At the moment I also have 1x powerglo and 1x life glo - what would you recomend I add as the aditional bulb?
Regards,
Craig
