hey i just started an aquarium. the light it came with heats up my tank so i need to get a new light. im not sure which one to get. its a little discovery kids eclipse explorer II its pretty small. i wanna be able to have corals and stuff but i dont want to heat up my tank ive looked at lights and do any of you know how much wattage a Hydor Multi Light has and is it any good ?
i looked at the galaxy light and i liked it but would i be able to have any corals?? or like on or two i plan on taking the chromis out and get two ocellaris clowns and im keeping my peppermint shrimp would that be ok
:?:
That tank is too small for even 1 clown of any specie. You can only keep 1 very, very small fish in there (Clown Gobies, Green Banded Goby, Neon Blue Goby, etc).
You should be able to grow corals in that tank with those lights. I would use the LED light personaly for best growth.
A galaxy light is only $20. Spend the money now, so you have no problems later down the road if your corals die. A hydor light isn't much less anyway, and it probably doesn't emit too much light.
I would personally do the Galaxy Light II because it comes with a splashguard and deflector.
