usually its 55w for max or less, all about ure tank setup to be honest IMHO.
But with higher lighting, requires higher co2 output and adequate ferts plus acceptable cooling system.
If not, myriads of problems will arise(melting,bba,diatoms,gsa,fish discolouration due to heat, etc ,etc)

That stuff can be lift off 20cm above tank also will cause that much problem? hmm.gif
I did see lot's people using double 36w pll on 2 feet tank

LED different story bro hikhik.
my recommendation, instead of PLL, get the friendly CFL bulb type ligthing if you cant afford LED.
They dont need ballast, and if the bulb goes kaput, its easy to find, easy to install and cheap.
PLL produce more heat, not only will your tank inhabitant will suffer, but your ballast too. Ask PLL lighting users,
have they suffered at least one overheated ballast or not. tongue.gif
And usually Metal Hallide people use for bigger setup, maybe 3ft ++ IMHO.
I may be wrong though.

hmm...CFL seems promising, at least i can change the fixture with the same lighting reflector. Does those reptile lighting reflector lamp works great on planted tank? or just a regular lighting reflector will do?

guys, was wondering how do rotala rotundifolia "blood red" looks like when submerged? or made no different with rotala rotundifolia red? Had a hard time choosing red plants on my 10g tank.
