Question

i have got a flouresent 16 inch long 22 watt light for a 35 gallon hex.. will this be egnouf light for my saltwater tank..i amgetting the night light..

Answer 1

Will it be enough to illuminate the tank?  Definitely, but it is FAR from strong enough to grow any real corals (you&#039;d be lucky to keep some Zoanthids alive) or photosynthetic inverts.  If you want corals, I would really suggest a T-5 fixture...

Answer 2

4wpg is good for a sw with corals...

But if its just gonna be FOWLR, 22watt would be ok...

Answer 3

This should be fine as long as you aren&#039;t growing live plants or coral. It won&#039;t affect your fish&#039;s tank temperature either. Fluoresents are always recommended to show your the fish&#039;s natural coloring as well.
