Cheap Xenia Prop. System... Opinions?
I'm getting ready to set up a cheap Xenia propagation system, and am wondering what others have experienced when atempting something similar.
The Plan is: 20 Gallon Long Aquarium (Shorter Tank to maximize light) Bare Bottom A Shelf for the Zenia no more than 6" below the surface. Something along the lines of a Hydor Koralia 2 for flow. Small Power Filter for occasional Carbon and Media usage as needed. Auto Top Off to keep Salinity stable. Now the big question is lighting. I have a PC fixture, but would like to do something else to avoid high bulb replacement expense. Has anyone tried growing xenia under the 6700k 18w Compact Florescent Spot Lights (aka 'Fuge Bullbs) in a clip on dome reflector? They are rated to be equivilant to 65w and to my eyes where at least as bright as a standard 65w PC Bulb. They are cheap to replace, and to run. Would 2 or 3 of these, equal to roughly 130-195 watts grow Xenia? The other option would be PC or possibly a low end 2 Bulb T5 setup for a much greater price tag. |
