Lighting for 6' tanks
« on: October 02, 2013, 03:30:47 PM »
Open to exactly what... just need to be for a 6' tank.

Not looking for anything old as I have a fear of fires with old lighting.  Must be in good shape.

How bright do you need it to be?  Are you wanting a 4' fixture?  Or 2 36"'?  Or 3 24"?  :D

Is the tank single or double braced?

Tank is double braced... as I mentioned above... I am open to what someone might have at this time.

I like my tanks BRIGHT.

I have a 4' single bulb florescent in it now.  I want to at least add, if not replace it.

For my 4'... I have 4 T5 4' bulbs on it and like that look.
