Touk Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi guys, I'm new to marine tanks and would appreciate if you guys could advice me on the following: - Is it ok for me to have 1x36W white light & 1x36W blue light for my 3.5g pico? - Do i need to on the lights when cycling the tank? Thx Link to comment
omarshabaz Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thats lots of lighting, you could even do it with one 36w 50/50 would be sufficient. Link to comment
Kingfet Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 By "white" and "blue" light what do you mean? Are you just sticking a normal 4 dollar "white" light bulb in something??? Link to comment
Samoyed Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 By "white" and "blue" light what do you mean? Are you just sticking a normal 4 dollar "white" light bulb in something??? i think hes talking of flourescent and atinic! Link to comment

Haagenize Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 yes, the lighting should work, and definetly you need light while cycling Link to comment
shag26272 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 you dont need lights during cycling, most people use them though Link to comment
Touk Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 Thx for comments. I just finished the built-in sump for my 3.5G pico. Will be water testing it tomorrow, then its off to the store to get some plumbing stuff. It'll be awhile before I have the time to put together the hood, that's why I was thinking of letting the tank cycle without hoods + lights. Link to comment
