thats why i figured going with hps for lighting would be better since a 70 watt bulb can do 6,000 lumens. it'll be more than enough intensity for a 30 gallon and i only have to change the one bulb...

the reason i asked about the hps bulbs is i was going to do a vertical scrubber with a 20-30 degree pitch and make it one sided. i figured a hps bulb would be good because i can do a 50 watt setup...
thats a good point i will have to get a new pump then. i was at home depot today and saw some HPS bulbs/fixtures and was wondering how well will they grow algae compared to the cfls cause they seem...
hey i was wondering which is better plumbing an overflow into a scrubber or using a dedicated pump to feed it. im going to use a mag 5 as the return pump so im wondering what would be a good overflow...
