Hi Everyone,
I am putting together a hood for a 30g (12x36x18) FOWLR tank. The planned project will have 3 39W T5HO bulbs. Two bulbs are on one circuit and the third is a single. Although this may be overkill for FORWL I figured I'd do it now rather than having to move things around to fit more in later. I also am adding 2 AC fans each moving about 13CFM. I was also thinking of adding some lunar light.
Now the questions:
What is a good combination of 3 bulbs for this setup? I can set a timer to have one, two or three bulbs on a time. Is there a bulb that I can put in the single to use as a lunar or will any 39W HO be to bright for that?
If I don't use the single as a lunar what would be a good sequence to turn on the lights?
Thanks,
Dave
