Lighting Question

[Plattypus5420]

I got a 55 Gallon Tank last night, it has 2 24" florescent lights, 15w but it's not as bright as i would like it to be...is there a different/better light that will make tank brighter and make things stand out ?

Is it used? If so, the bulbs could be worn out and need to be replaced.

What kind of lights did you get? There are always better lights out there than fluorescents, but they cost more. CF, HO T5, LED, MH, and VHO to name a few will all do better, but cost a lot more.

I ended up getting two of the aqua culture full hoods with lights because walmart was the only store open and im incredibly impatient
