How many watts?

ex_action_figure Apr 27, 2004 01:50 PM

I am not sure if I should order this light:
store.yahoo.com/lamps-now/362xcofraq2x.html

or this light:
store.yahoo.com/lamps-now/361xcofraq1x.html

which one do you think is better for a 30 gallon long?
I want enought light to keep bromilades and things like that but not so much light that it will kill pillow moss or sheet moss
what do you think?

192 watts sounds a bit much for a 30G. 96W might be a bit better, especially since it's a long tank. The light will be closer to the plants.

Thank You
