I have a 33 gallon tank with an eclipse bulb which I believe is 18W - not much good for growing plants
I have a Perfecta hood and looking at it I think I have room to 2 fluorescent lights if I remove the original light fixture.
So my question is - can I just use florescent light fixtures that I can buy from my local DIY store ? (or is there something special about the twin units that aquarium websites sell ?)
If I DIY it it seems like I will save at least 50%.
