I have a 180 gallon planted/discus tank, and have 4x96 watt setup on for
about 12 hours a day. It works well for me, in fact I started out with a
6x96 watt setup and it was too much! BTW-Anyone interested in purchasing a
2x96 watt AHSupply combination? Only used for about 6 months, I will auction
it on EBay or Aquabid if there is no interest here.
Anyway, I do like the PC lights. They were easy to hook up, and they grow
things well. My emphasis is more on the discus than the plants, so I no
longer use CO2 or try to do a lot of intricate things with the plants. I
keep it pretty basic, I cannot stand to see fish suffer for the plants.
Good Luck,
Don
