Re: Lighting ?



Grant,
I have lights on almost all my tanks, 5s and up have hoods,  2.5s are in 
rows with one 15watt light off a 10 gallon hood across three on one end.  I 
have most of my 2.5s on a wood stand woith two rows, bare bottom tanks with 
glass lids.  The light from the top row is enough for the bottom row as 
well.  I have a 75 with a two tube shop light sitting on the glass top, lots 
of floating plants.  I have to take some out every couple of weeks.

BTW, while the stand for my 2.5s is great, I have had to add a heater in 
every other thak on the bottom.  There was a 10 degree difference in 
temperature between the two rows.
