pucky Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I have a 29G tank that was used for only keeping 3 goldfish. Sadly they didnt survive the 4 Florida hurricanes a few months ago. Its just been sitting around since with no fish. I want to convert it to a SW tank. It would mainly be a FOWLR to put a clown or 2 in there but also a couple zoos and shrooms. I would like to know if the Satellite 1x65w fixture would be enough for the clown(s) and if any corals. Thank you! Link to comment
jenniebutterfly Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 it should be ok, mushrooms, zoos, brains, candy canes are a few that i can think of that would be ok with that type of lighting. Link to comment
pucky Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 AWESOME! thanks for the quick reply! Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 65w over a 29 isn't going to let you keep anything besides maybe some 'shrooms. It's okay for a FOWLR, but not a reef. Cheers, Fred Link to comment
pucky Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 ok what about a 2x65? EDIT: for the price of a 2x65 i could just about get a LampDr 70w MH retro. Would that be enough? Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Over a 29, I'd go with a 175w or 250w MH. Cheers, Fred Link to comment
impur Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 For about the same price you can do a 250w MH. Then you can keep anything. Link to comment
knowse Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yep agreed, go with the most light you can afford. 130w over a 29 isn't squat and you'll be looking to upgrade with in a few months. By the way, get a pendant. Link to comment
