Lighting suggestions for 12' FO Pond PLEASE!

Crumbs · 11/20/2007, 04:57 PM

Hey Guys,

Im wondering if anyone has any recommendations for compact florescent lighting for a fish only pond. The dimensions will be 12' x 5'

This is what I have bin considering.

Current 60" Orbit 4x65 watt SunPaq with Lunar Lights & Fan
Current 48" Dual Satellite 4x65 watt SunPaq with Lunar Lights & Fan

I would prefer to have a fixture that I can mounted directly to the ceiling. I like the fact that the sunpaq lights already have leds but im not sure about quality or how I will mount them.

Thanks a lot,
Chris

I would opt for T5 lighting. It is much more efficient.

I thought T5 and compact florescent was the same thing. lol

What is the difference? Any good brands?
