    Hi all, any good recommendation of 3ft lights for a standard 3x1.5x1.5 ft tank?

    Was told by a supplier that illummax is bought over by odyssea? because I ordered an illummax advance but he gave me an odyssea, which the quality was pretty horrible and I refused to take it.

    Does an aquazonic 4x39w more than enough alrdy? Looking at solite as well, any recommendations?

    3 x 1.5 x.1.5 is around 172litres with 90% water. Gallon is around 45.51.

    So you might want to calculate how much wattage ( wpg ).

    Different brand have different quality material but mostly the making of the tube are all the same ( correct me im wrong ).

    So in the end ,it depends on how much wpg you want eg. 1-2 wpg or 2 to 3 wpg.
