    Default Converting a T12-VHO setup to T5-HO

    A buddy of mine has a 72 gallon corner bowfront that he has had for about two and a half years. Like all of the corner aquariums, lighting them properly can be tricky. His is particularly difficult as this aquarium has a flat back making it rather long, skinny, and tall. There is not much room is place lights and yet it has to be bright enough to punch to the bottom of his aquarium.

    What he had been using with some success was several T12-VHO lamps. He had two 3' 95 watt lamps in the front with two 2' 75 watt lamps in the back.
