Hello All:
I am a seasoned aquarist and have had a 55 gallon, freshwater planted tank for many years. I have decided to upgrade my hobby and get an extra high 110 gallon tank (it's 29 inches high). With all the lighting options available, I am confused with what type of lighting to set up for this deeper tank. Do I want the more 'traditional' double or triple flourescent strip lighting? Or should I go with compact flourescent lighting? I am concerned with having adequate lighting (2-3 WPG) to reach the bottom and allow for strong plant growth. I will be running a CO2 system.
Figured that would reach out to all of you to help me get this tank set up right from the start.
Thanks in advance,
Don
