I had an 18g viaaqua that won exhibitors choice in our club's show, and I think the black sand was a contributing factor. However, it was lit by 192 w of pc's (2x96w quads) Great tank, great growth, it was my best work I've ever done.
Wow, another vote for the black sand, I tell you, I may have to consider.... I really don't want to add anymore light to the tank, I truly feel that a 250 watt pendant is more than sufficient for my purpose. The bulb is a 20k bulb, but I will probably switch to a 14k bulb next purchase.... Thanks for the feedback everyone....keep it comin.....
