Hi all,
Like to do a quick informal survey (if I can call it)on what's the lighting intensity in your tank? I am refering to:
1)Tank size
2)total wattage of lights.
3)watts per gallon.
Starting with mine:
Tank : 60cm x 30cm x 36cm
Total Wattage : 2 X 18 watts fl.tube(36 watts)
Watts per gallon : approx. 2 watts per gallon.
Thanks
Jellyman

* This tank is 3WPG, but I consider it as low/moderate light as the 30W is spread over a large area.

Wow...really eye blinding reading all those wattage!
Correct me if I am wrong, the rule of thumb is 2 to 3 watt per us gallon?
I am contemplating of added 2 X 18 watt fl tube to my current 36 watt. This will make it to approx 4 watt per us gallon. Also afraid Algae out break.
Joking only:
Dunno if the fish need to have sun glasses, heh heh hehthey may feel they are at constant flash mode [

I also had algae whatever the wattage. think light affects mostly those green algae on the glass.

Murphy33, you got 127W for your 2 ft tank?!!
Tank : 4x2x2ft (100G)
Ttl Wattage : 330W
Watts per gallon : 3.3W per Gallon
Corydoras: 2 x adolfoi, 1 x agassizii, 5 x albino aeneus, 3 x arcuatus, 4 x atropersonatus, 3 x axelrodi, 6 x axelrodi variante B, 4 x caudimaculatus, 5 x duplicareus, 8 x goldlines, 3 x kanei, 3 x loretoensis, 6 x melini, 4 x panda, 6 x schwartzi, 3 x similis, 4 x sterbai, 4 x surinamensis, 5 x trilineatus, 4 x tukano & 3 x zygatus
RIP 1 x adolfoi, 1 x albino aeneus & 2 x panda
Tank size: 3ft
Total watts: 36W
Tank size: 5ft x 2ft x 2ft
Wattage: 280W
That works out to be about 2 watts per gallon
Tank size: 4 X 2 X 2 ft
Water Volume: tanke size - 10cm of substrate = 360L or 95 USG
Light: 2 X 150W MH = 300W
Light supplied: 3.15WpG
I think most of you guys calculated total tank size. IMO, it's more accurate using water volume for the 3WpG guideline.
Tank size: 2.5ft x 1.8ft x 1.2ft
Total watts: 76W
~2 WPG
