Collegiate Crewmember Wants a T. maxima – Lighting?
Hey Anthony, and\or anyone else willing to chime in: I’m going to have to downsize to a smaller aquarium when I go to a dorm, and I’m looking at a “nano” type aquarium with an enclosed hood, retrofitted with PCs and T5’s. I know someone who mods them, and gets 9200Lux @ 1ft depth (about where the clam would be) using PC and T5 lighting. I have a 7″ teardrop (gold\purple\maroon) maxima, and I’m wondering if this will be enough. I’m very wary about not keeping it under halides – think that this would cut it? If not I’ll just go with a halide pendant, I was just hoping I could get away with a hood to help prevent beer in the aquarium! 😀 Thanks, Michael
