Best Lighting for 90 FOWLR

Crosby87 · 04-23-2007, 08:42 PM

What kind of light fixture would you guys recommend for a 90 Gallon FOWLR to grow coraline algae and light the tank?

Don't have alot of money to spend right now, one of the reason's I'm doing FOWLR, I was thinking of purchasing this system on ebay:

eBay: ODYSSEA 48" 260W Aquarium Power Compact Light 3 cords (item 300104181867 end time Apr-28-07 13:12:05 PDT)

Let me know what you think, thanks

Here ya go:
I ordered this lighting

I have no experience with these lites myself. Just a personal opinion here, sometimes buying stuff on ebay can be a crap shoot, make sure before you buy. JMHO

I think I would go for a simple 2-4 bulb VHO or T-5 setup for a FOWLR tank. Lighting doesn't need to be considered for coralline, or anything in a FOWLR, so to speak. The consideration is a good set of lights that will bring out the best coloration of the fish in the system.
