Juwel 260 Lighting Wattage Question

[russellbrooke]

Hi,

I want to up my watts per gallon. I've currently got about 1 watt per us gallon,

i.e. 260 litres = 70 (ish) us gallons. 2 x 40W bulbs, so just over 1 watt per gallon.

Can you get higher rated T8 bulbs (42 inch) for the Juwel 260 aquariums in the UK? I've looked all over the net and all i can find is 38/40W for my juwel260.

Any help would be appreciated.

Russ
