lighting questions

[slcw]

I wish to enquire on 3 issues:

1) for 1 ft (10gallon) tank

Currently using 1 x 36 watt PL Phillips 6500k which the casing is 2 ft in length. I wish to use 1 ft casing lighting. However the choices available are mostly PL 18 watts.

I wish to have 1 tube actinic and 1 daylight with separate switches. Do not wish to DIY.

The 10-gallon holds mushrooms and tubeworm only plus some fish.

Please advise

2) 3 ft lighting also for office

My colleagues and I will setup I FOWLR. Currently I have 2 sets of 3 ft FL casing.

Question which brand of FL 30 watts would u recommend?

3) Dymax T5 NO vs FL

Comparing Dymax T5 NO to say FL 2 x 15watts (good brand tube) which would be better.

Generally better i mean in terms of lumens, PAR, etc.

Please do not recommend T5 HO or modification to that.

Thanks
