Open Question: What kind of lights would I need to grow madagascar lace in my 50g?
I'm trying to get a nicely planted tank put together but don't have a very good light setup. My hood fits 18" fluorescent tubes. I also don't want to shell out insane amounts of money, so I'm trying to figure out how much it would cost to get a good set of lights to see if I even want to bother. I've tried doing some reading up but I've never tried growing exotic plants before and haven't bothered with a fancy light system, so it's a whole lot of greek to me. I read on one site that I would need 3-5 watts per gallon, which would be 150-250W, but browsing the fluorescents for sale on aquarium supply sites the highest wattage I've seen is 40W. I've also read that I should select a bulb that is 5000-7000K, suggesting something in the 6700K area, but then they turn around and recommend a bulb that is 10,000K or even 18,000K. I have no idea what to make of that. I can tell you loads of miscellaneous info on caring for FISH, but I'm completely out of my element when it comes to plants. I have no idea what is what, or how much it would cost. Could anyone give me an idea of what 2 18" 150W 6700K fluorescent bulbs would cost (if I even have that info right)?
