Ladette Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Hello! Thank you so much for reading and any help in advance. I am planning on getting a 75 gallon aquarium and am planning on buying lights from the coop. My question is 1 or 2 lights? I want to put as many plants as I can in here and would like a fairly lit tank. I watched a video where Cory put 2 on his 40 breeders and I liked that look. Am I being crazy? It’s ok to say yes 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanisag Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 If you are considering it, then just do it! You won't regret it and you will be among very few people that run it that way. Should be a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllFishNoBrakes Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Not crazy! All depends on your budget. Personally, even though I can afford 2 lights, I would probably buy one and play around with it. Then, if I decided I needed the second one I would pick it up. That’s just me, though. I’m frugal even though I don’t have to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonkley Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 It's very easy to have too much light and grow algae. Cory only has 2 for filming. Pretty sure he has them off otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisnobody Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Why not buy 1, see how you like it. It’s really bright on its highest setting. Then if your plants need more, then add another. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galabar Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I prefer two lights. With two lights, the fish are illuminated when they are at the front glass (and they are often at the front glass). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
