Hi,
I'm in the process of putting together a planted aquarium which I'm starting from scratch. I just finished building the cabinet & canopy and now starting to put together the lighting. I am using a 38 gal, 24" tall tank. Originally I was planning on using 2 - 24" 40W HO bulbs with low lighting plants but now I'm not sure if that would be sufficient given the depth of the tank. Would I be better off going to VHO & 2 75W bulbs? Thanks for any input.
