another lighting and anen. question!!

[janastasio]

Sorry, quick question. I just got a new set up lights, the Nova t-5 pro 6 bulb with ind. reflectors. My tank is a 70-ish gallon. I love anem, and would even really like a rose bubble at some point. Would this lighting be sufficient? Thanks.

Depends on the depth of your aquarium. If it is deeper than 24 inches then i don't think enough lighting will penetrate down to the bottom (doesn't mean you can't place it at the top). When measuring you must take into account the legs of the fixture too.

Thanks for the replies. I believe the tank is 18 inches deep, I would say another 2 inches for the legs. So maybe 20 or less for depth. That would be sufficient? I know they could be placed higher, but dont these guys, like most others tend to wander sometimes? I want to make sure that where ever it chooses to be, the lighting will be appropriate. Assuming I get one of course!!

20" should be fine. Yes they will wander but if the don't have enought light at the bottom they will wander to the top where there is more light
