So... ive been rigging my tank with "stuff i had" to keep plants alive... till i get some $$ together... (yes im poor...lol)

But check THIS out.... i never really did the math on the first setup... until i "splurged" on the proper one...

2x32w 6500k flourescents.
2x23w cfl

Totalling 110watts on my 65!!!!!

Now... check this...

2x18" T5HO totalling 34w COMBINED!!!!

LOOK AT ALL THAT WASTED LIGHT IN THE FIRST PIC!!!!
