I want to slow down the growth of the plants in my 55g. I'm getting tired of keeping up with the trimming.
I have 2 65 watt CF lamps(6,700k & 10,000k) sitting on 2 inch legs above my aquarium which is co2 injected.
I'm kind of stuck deciding between getting 2 new 55 watt CF lamps at a cost of about $50 plus shipping or just trying to raise the light fixture up.
Which option would be better?
If I raise the light fixture up higher, how high up should it go and how do I actually go about doing that? The fixture doesn't have any place for attaching chain or wire for suspension. Plus I'm not sure what to do with the power cord which plugs in beneath the aquarium? Just let it dangle from the fixture? I'm not really concerned about light spillage at this point.
What do you think?
