I have
Tank
Rena Aqualife 200 x 50
Dimensions: 201cm W x 51cm x D 70,5 cm H
Volume in litres: 717
Volume in imperial gallons: 157
And its going to be planted etc.
By default it comes with 4 x 58W (232w)
I’m looking at least 2wpg so need a minimum of 314w
So im looking at Metal Halide either a Aquavital or Arcadia range
Now putting aside the types of tubes etc none are large enough for the tank, so if I got a 100cm one and mounted it so its in the middle im going to have some 50cms on either side not covered
Are these areas going to be dead spots or am I going completely the wrong way ?
Thank in advance
