Low light?

[ilaizm]

Is a 95G tank with two t5 tubes of 45w each kept on for 6 hours a day considered low light?

Yes, i think is low light.

Hi ilaizm,

Are those t5ho tubes ? Also, how tall is your 95g ?

Two very useful charts. I call them Hoppy's charts.

Yes they're t5ho tubes. Tank is 20 inches tall.

I am aiming for low light (with co2) as the tank just has crypts and vals. Would you use reflectors on the two tubes or no?

I'll use good reflectors. I'll have the light fixture 12" above the tank to get low light like Hoppy's chart shows.
