No such thing as too much light! I say go for it, or jump on the LED bandwagon

That's the tank I have, and that's the light I use.

Blue plus, purple plus, new generation, blue plus.
I run the fixture without a splash shield and I've got a small fan Cooling the bulbs as well which adds about ten percent more PAR (unless your fixture is already fan cooled of course!) |
