My tank is 48" long. Someone got me a deal on these lights: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3060839 (I did not get them from petsmart but this was the 1st link I found to the product) Would the best way to reduce light be the floating plant idea? Or maybe should I get the blue m...

I want to have a few low light plants... mostly sand and rocks though... PP: Many folks prefer Tx (ie. T5, etc) lighting and although a VHO T5 fixture and bulbs were supplied by the manufacturer I soon scrapped them for several reasons. My knee jerk reaction to your post is PC (Power Compact) light...
