need lights

i need some help on lighting for my tank i need some to represent the sun and the moon my tank lengths is 20 in if you could guide me on were to go to buy with web sites and suggestions

 

If you let us know more on what you plan on keeping and your budget we can help point you in the correct direction.

 

Whats the budget for this porject LOL with a tank that short at just 20 inches You are somewhat limited.. Like Jt said what you want to keep in this tank ?

 

i apologize for the assumption but it sounds as though you need a little direction and that you are new to reefkeeping. if you are relatively new to the hobby, you are going to want to take your time without putting a huge hole in your wallet (you may change your mind about the hobby, you never know). it sounds like you have a standard 10 gallon (correct me if i'm wrong) and without busting your wallet, you may want to take the power compact route. here is my suggestion:

Compact Fluorescent Aquarium Lighting: Dual Satellite Compact Fluorescent Fixtures

it's obviously the 20" i'm pointing you to and at $100 you can't go wrong. it offers a 6700K and 10000K daylight bulb, actinics and a moonlight. you'll have two switches controlling the two 40 watt bulbs and a moonlight on a seperate adaptor. grab yourself a decent dual 24 hour timer and you'll have your "sun and moon" .

i hope that helps,
jonathan

 

this is great i am hoping to to start off with reef i have only had fish only i am buying everything i need and found it is expensive with the lights you suggested where would i find replacement bulbs when the time comes

 

Replacement bulbs can be bought at the same link above at foster's and smith and various other on line stores. Check out www.marinedepot.com
They sell a 20" corallife 96w 50/50 fixture for $89.
