Lighting for Biocube 29
I'm looking into getting some T5's after giving it some thought in deciding that it would probably be most beneficial in the long run.
I'm planning to keep mostly LPS corals and some zoos. I'm kind of mulling over the idea of a clam of some sort and maybe a BTA. But that's a big maybe. I don't want to completely replace the hood on the tank. Just the bulbs. Does anybody know the size I would need or if it's even possible? I can't find this information anywhere online or in the owner's manual.  Some help that manual was.  Can anybody enlighten me? |

The smallest T5 bulbs are 18" and only Current USA makes them. I dont think they offer a retro fit kit so you would need to buy the Nova Extreme Pro 20" fixture and go topless.
You should be ok keeping LPS and zoos under the stock PC lighting. |
