Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 How many watts of light should i use on a Eclipse 6 w/ a 25 watt heater Link to comment
vyger Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Go to the bottom of the thread...this lighting was inexpensive and was fine for low light stuff http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=37594 Link to comment
imafishboy Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 why would the heater matter? but you need about 30 watts? 5 watts per gallon? but the 70 MH sounds nice Link to comment
Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 ok thanks I was thinking about doing a DIy on my lighting so this can give me an idea on watts and stuff Thanks a lot Link to comment
Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Im thinking abot doing 2or 3 50/50 bulbs about 20-25 watts each, one side white and the other actinic blue 10000k Link to comment
Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 the otherside might be aTrue ACNIC 03 I FORGET WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT AT THE AQUARIUM STORE Link to comment
imafishboy Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 lol you probably want the true 03 actinic and 10000k lighting Link to comment
vyger Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 If you put 75 watts under that hood you might wind up overheating the tank especially the way the hood is enclosed... Link to comment

yoshiod9 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 over my 6 i have just a 32w supernova retrofit(custom sealife). works well for all the lps i have in there. Link to comment
Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 I found out what bulb(s) im using . Its 10 watt each, 50/50 white 10,000K/actinic 03 blue made by coralife at only $ 8.79 a bulb I think it also may come in a 20 or 25 watt bulb, this is just a compact version of it Link to comment
Taru6566 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 The otherversion is 20watts which should i go for Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 i actually have two of the 20watters. they work well but are quite big and bulky. they are very much like a regular screw in light bulb, right? they worked for my pico, that's all i used them for though. Link to comment
ninjamini Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just got the mini might for my Eclipse6. It fits under the hood when you remove the existing light. But it comes with: Actinic Blue 7100 and Daylight 5000k I am changing the bulbs to: 10000k Daylight and True Acnic 03 I used the mini aqualight with better success but it does not fit under the top. So I will change. Link to comment
