Hi all -
I'm finally setting up a bigger tank (65 gal) for an octopus, and need some advice on lighting. I know that octos aren't too keen on any lighting, so I don't want to over do it. But what kind of lighting and wattage should I go with? I know red LEDs are a must, but from there I'm lost. I saw on another thread that 30-40watts fluorescents was fine - does that mean that one of those cheap-o all-glass strips will do?! That just doesn't seem right to me.... Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
