Hello, I’m looking to do a light fixture for an aquarium using dichroic lamps. Could anyone who did this before instruct me a bit as to how to proceed?

I would say don’t. Go with LEDs or a hybrid. If it’s a non reef tank just get some cheap LEDs.

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
