Hi People,
I am planning a 2' cube tank, for a lion fish (volitan), some dwarf angels and clams. Would like to use a scrubber as the only filtration.
I really love the acrylic scrubber that SantaMonica is using - I think it looks real sweet. However, I don't think I have space for the T5HO lighting fixtures, as the cabinet will most likely be about 2' wide also. I don't want to sacrifice scrubber performance and I want 2 scrubbers for redundancy and to allow alternate cleaning.
1. Are there bulbs that can compare to the T5HOs when it comes to growing algae, or should I just go with a larger cabinet?
2. If I went with other bulbs, how many will I need, to be comparable to 4 T5HO 2' tubes? I'm prepared to double that as I want redundancy I mentioned earlier.
Thanks!
