Im trying to cut expences of chorse. Link to comment
bigbenji Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I'm pretty sure my 20 gallon high is 24" long. I don't know if the stands for the coralife fixtures will make up for a 6" difference, but I'm sure the lights won't work submerged. Link to comment
Angel Higuera Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 I can configure it so it will make up the diffrence. Im not sure what you mean by submerged? Im just trying to figure out if this setup will get me buy for now. Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 i would go for 24 inch bulbs and thn ou could have 3 and have 3 wpg and tho thats not a good gauge it wold be ok, and go with 10K's becuse they have more light output till you could upgrade my $0.02 Link to comment
bigbenji Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I just mean that I think you should look for 24" lights instead of the 18". Link to comment
gcrowptc Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree with N.O go with the 24" bulbs have done it in the past and am building a 20g with 175 mh and 2) 24" N.O. for supplementation Link to comment
