    does having 2X36W PL light an overkill for a 2 ft planted tank?
    currently using 1X36W PL and 1X15W FL for the tank. thinking of using both PL for total wattage of 72W.

    yes .. overkill. but im not saying u cannot do it. make sure u increse your CO2 at the same time. my 2 ft tank ended up with lots of BBA. but thats because i didnt control my CO2 and nutrients well.

    IMO, no... 2x36pl is quite normal for a 2ft tank

    if thats the case , should pay a visit to NA for the DIY stuff.
    Besides NA, is there any other place to get the DIY stuff eg e-ballast, clips, PL tubes
