I am in the process of building a fish house and was after some advice on lighting options
I was wanting to light the room with standard flourescents
Does anyone know whether end caps/lamp holders can be purchased that are water proof without having to be specialised hobby one's ... and if so could they provide a link to the cheapest solution
If i am using just lamps do i need to have them ina fitting or is just having the lamp clipped in place enough if using weatherproof end caps
I can source weatherproof housings , maybe that is the best solution?
Does anyone know how many lamps can be driven off a single electronic high frequency ballast unit? for both linear T% tubes and compact options?
I have though about metal halide options if i do a larger planted tank, and whilst browsing lamp sites noticed that halogen floodlights for exterior use are much cheaper than halide options, would these be suitable over a planted tank?
Any other input greatly appreciated
