lighting for a 30gal cube

sscherin · 03/06/2006, 12:48 PM

I'8 looking for recomendations on lights for an Oceanic 30 gallon cube.

it's only 21" wide so VHO or T5 setups would hang over the sides.

a 250watt DE halide pendant would be great...you could use a bluer bulb by itself and have an 'all in one' solution...but first you should tell us what you want to keep so I dont make an @$$ out of myself by suggesting halide to you if all you want to keep are shrooms!!!

I guess it depends on what type of livestock you want to keep but most MH pendants will fit with no problem.....I have a 250watt DE MH pendant over top of mine and it works great
