i bought a coralife deluxe 24" light from a friend on impulse today.
it use two 65 watt. one 6,700k, which i replaced with a 10,000k bulb i have laying around. the other is a actinic bulb which i left alone. would the k make a difference? i also have a 12,000k laying around.
i did some reading a while back, and remember something about 4-6 watt pet gallon. i'm going to be using this for a 10 gallon tank that's only going to be 1 feet deep. at best, it would only hold 8 gallons, so is 16ish watt a gallon too much?
