Hi, my tank is 1ft x 1ft, and I'm using a 1.5ft light set, with 2 11w PL bulb inside, Im currently using the bulbs that comes with the set. But I dont think its the best for me, what do you guys suggest?

1) I was thinking of getting 2 x 10k-type of whiteness, anyone know what brand/bulb to recommend?

2) I also plan to use LED for the moonlight effect as i heard that its more accurate.

or shld i have 1 white 1 blue tube??

Thanks for ur time. :D

how much light is neccessary depends on the things u want to keep, if its FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) then u only need enough light to see your fish, if u keep soft corals...better to have strong lights...for lps and sps...the lighting requirement gets higher...

as for the brand of PL light to use..i am sorry...nv use PL light before so i cant advice u

my 2 cents
