   Would appreciate some advice on the best type of light for a FOWLR tank. The tank is approximately 100 gallons but is extremely shallow. The current dimensions for the tank are 5 feet long, 32 inches wide and 14 inches deep. It was originally a touch tank in a science classroom but is now used in a common area in a school.

   60 inch two bulb t5 would be all you need, or some cheap leds off of eBay less red lights the better

   I can't seem to find any 60 inch fixtures. Would something like this work?

   I have a couple of strip lights that are 2 bulb each you can have if they would work for you. They came off a FOWLR I had bought a few years ago. Have never used them but bulbs likely will need replaced.
