I have a question. My 10 gallon has 1 15 watt bulb. Since I am getting plants I want 2 15 watt bulbs. Will I need a new tank lid to acomadate the lights or will I have to get another lid? Thanks for the help!

You can get a glass lid for about $15 and set a couple light fixtures on top of that if you want. Two 15 watt fixtures would fit.

Ok sounds good! Do I need holes in the glass where I put in equipment?

when you get the glass cut just tell them to leave off a few inches in the back for filters and other stuff

They make glass tops with a plastic strip along the back edge so you just have to cut a little of the plastic for the equipment to fit.
