Hello everyone,
a buddy of mine just recently bought a 210 gallon aquarium, and he needs some lights for it! The problem is that its such a funky measurement for the lights to fit in, so its a pain trying to find lights for it. I was thinking that he could go either one big 72 inch fluorescent strip light, probably double strip since the light has to penetrate pretty deep, but the problem with that is finding the bulbs. The other way was to get three individual lights, but the measurements for them to fit in the slots all nice and tidy are 22.5 inches, which pretty much dont exist, so he would need to get three 24 inches (which would work since 24 goes into 72 three times). My question is, what would be the smartest way to go, and which would put out the most light, aka penetration. Thank you for all your help!
