Hello,
I am setting up a 20g high tech planted with ADA substrate and CO2. I'm trying to decide on lighting for this tank and I have settled for T5HO. I'm a little unsure of what I should get. I want to have a high light setup so I can keep any foreground plants and I am dosing EI. I was thinking of the Nova Extreme 2 X24W light, but I am unsure if this is enough light as I know the reflectors are not as good as say a TEK. However, its only a 20g so I am not sure if it will be adequate or not. I am also considering the Catalina fixture 2X24W with individual reflectors. I am assuming that a 4 X 24W will be way too much light for a 20g and I will have a hard time keeping that tank in check. Anyone want to share what they have? Thanks.
