which lighting?

[daniodude]

I have a 20 gallon long and I want to upgrade my lighting. I am going to get compact flourescent from Drs. Foster and Smith. Is the price difference between the single and dual flourescent bulb worth it, my tank would need a 30 in light from here

thanx

IT is well worth it. It is more economical to go with more light now than to try and upgrade later when you realize you need more light.

Well, I was probably going to go with the 130 watts either way, but I went into my lfs, he sells used equipment there, he had a 130 watt coralife dual flourescent, dual lunar light ballast. it is 24 inches vs. my 30in tank, but it can just sit on my canopy, the guy at the fish store said it would be ok. Unfortunately, something happened with it and a flourescent tube isnt working, I called him and he said it was probably a loose connection, but im taking it in to him today. But on the bright side, I am getting my new 90gallon saltwater tonight.
