 My Lighting I have one of the Lunar Aqualight's. It has 2 65 watt Actinic 03 Blue Compact Fluoresent, 2 65 watt 10,000K Daylight Compact Fluoresent, and 4 3/4 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps. Is this a good lighting system?   |

| Re: My Lighting 4.5 watts per gallon of PCs shouldnt be heating up your water. How close to the water is it and what kind of heater are you using? |

| Re: My Lighting I agree with Greg.PC's are not exactly cool running units but they shouldnt do to much to heat the tank.What is your temp when you turn them off and turn them on? |

| Re: My Lighting The reason I ask about your heater is when I got my heater it was already set for 79 degrees so I didnt touch it. My tank temp was around 85. I tried everything fans you name it. then I took out the heater turned it all the way down then back to the tamp I wanted my tank at. It fixed the problem. The gauge said 79 but im almost sure the setting was higher since it fixed the problem... |
