I agree with steve completely. As I was writing my post I was wondering if you were talking about the 24 inch tank. I woudl go fo rthe 4+ wpg because wihtthat whight it wont be exactly and like they said, if you feel it is tom uch you can always remove a bulb or raise the fixture. I also agree with not using actinic lights. Youreally want sull spectrum bulbs between about 5500 k and 10000k. It seems to be a mater of personal preference to some degree. lower k looks more warm or red and higher K looks blue-er. Hope this helps.

I think im going to get the double light strip instead of the single one even though its more money i have to start to save up now... maybe in a few weeks ill have enough to order it... and ill need a filter too ugh... thanks for your opinions

I think going with that choice would be best. Its all up to what you like the best, but you'll probably like the results after it's all put up. Have fun saving though!

Im in the same boat....saving up for a co2 tank, then save up again for AHSupply lights

oh yean another question, i know it should be in with the CO2 forum, but would a 2-liter DIY CO2 be enough for a 30 gallon tank ?
