Carpet nem need?
I currently have 216 watts t-5 lighting.

Is this enough>?


I bought a carpet nem a while back and was running PC's ( 130 watts )
and it didnt make it.

over your 55 or 75? What is the lighting set u? T5's yes, but what specs. Watts have nothing to do with it.

4 - 54 watt T5's should be enough. My 2 Carpet's are on the bottom of my 30" tank with T5's and it seems happy so far.
