lighting for my 26g

[neonmadness]

Does this come with everything i need to light my aquarium? is it a good price? the dimensions of the tank are 36"-10"-17" and im going to plant it with low light plants. http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsUS/ctl3684/cp18368/si1381756/cl0/currentusasunpaqretrofitsinglepowercompact3696watt

That wouldn't be the best of choices for a low light setup. If you want a low light setup, just use a single or dual T12 light fixture.

wats a t12 fixture?

 

[WyldFya]

T12 is the standard fluorescent fixtures often seen on aquariums.

would i need a special bulb for the flourescent fixture? cus i thought flourescents were pretty much useless for plants

 

[WyldFya]

WPG is a rating designed for use on T12 bulbs. The main thing is to get an aquatic plant bulb that has a kelvin rating of 5000K-10,000K. 6700K is the rating I prefer.

As stated earlier, if you want a low light setup, just use a single or dual T12 light fixture.
