Well,
I have already returned the 55 gallon combo kit I bought my family for Christmas. I have decided to go forward with plans for a diy stand, hood and lighting. I found an 85 gallon tank that fits the stand dimensions I have already started. I have purchased a 2x55 bright kit from ah supply and a milwaukee pressurized co2 system and reglulator. I plan to build the 2 x 55 bright kit into the hood along with two NO 40 watt bulbs that I aready have. This will give me a total wattage of 190.
The question I have is about wpg. When I consider wpg for my design, now and future, should I base it off of the 18x48 footprint (same as a 75 gallon) or should I calculate it based on the true 85 gallons?
