what is every one using to light these? I have one that would be a nice zoa / mantis tank.

would a 96watt quad fit?

Not really. The 96w quad fixtures are 20". A standard 5.5g is 16"x8"x10". A 96w quad retro is 18.5", but even that'll hang over the sides quite a bit.

okay thanks

i looked at premium and couldnt find that kit. i think im going to use 4 CF screw Bulbs. check out this thread and the tank. it looks pretty good. this tank will only have zoas, mushrooms, and maybe a frogspawn.

Did you call Jason at PA? Tell him Brian @ nanotank.com got it from him. Maybe he can order it or something.

Very pleasant folks to talk with on the phone.

Screw-ins might work as well.

 

[leaffish75]

no i didnt call him. I really like the way the screw in bulbs look so i figured I might go that way for now.
