Hi guys! I am brand spanking new to BRS, and pretty excited. My buddy and I are setting up a 45 gallon tank in our dorm. Its been up for almost a month now, has 60 or 65 lbs of cured live rock, lots of snails and hermit crabs, a giant feather duster, 3 peppermint shrimp, and a cleaner shrimp. All is well at the moment! Have 2 powerheads circulating the water, a small power filter that I want to fill with chaeto, and a jebo ps75 skimmer on the way. The only thing is, we have pretty shotty lighting.
My question is that when we upgrade, should we go for a 4x 39watt T5 fixture or a 2x 95watt power compact one?? We are looking at Compact USA as a brand. I have heard they are not the best, but we are on a college budget.
Thanks so much and I really look forward to learning from you guys!
