I am currently running a 55 gal tank. My light set up is causing my plants to die within a few days of getting them. I have two hoods each with 18 inch 15 watt bulbs.

The more and more I read about lighting, it seems that I am way under the limit. What is the Ideal amount of wattage needed for a 55 gal and what lights do you recommend? I have the common flouresent light set up and all the other lights ive seen like corallife have different connections than the stock ones. Would I have to buy new hoods or what?

If anyone could help out it would be great... I am trying to get something set up before my plants die!


Thanks in Advance!
