Any experience with this lighting?

[freda01]

Greetings all. I am thinking of upgrading my 80w compact flourescent lighting to this particular one:

I was thinking of going with the 20" 150W unit.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular system?

Thanks all and have a great weekend!

Hi. The size of the tank is 30g. About 20 x 18 x 20. Kinda hard to find 20" size lights for my tank and I don't really want to get the pendants unless I have to. Thanks!

That lighting should be reasonable for that tank size. If you are into DIY work, you could create a more efficient setup with a pendant, but the fixture shown is probably okay.

i have the 36" unit w/ 2x150 lamps

It comes with nice 14K Bulbs, I switched mine out for 20K XO Bulbs because I like a little more blue :)
