There is a few threads regarding this but not recently, and was just looking for a bit of advice. Am upgrading for a planted tank, disscusion regarding the actaully sutibility of doing this is in the planted section.
This is just the practicality question, asked second as always
So the plan is to buy one of these

and 4 of these
http/www.nationallampsandcomponents.co.u...-Type/21/48/274
And then the wiring.
Now a few things you should know.
I'm not an electrician, but am happy to do a bit of wiring, and technically enough minded, I hope, to follow a wiring diagram.
The set up of the tank means that none of the fittings or ballast would come in to contact with any worrying amount of water, I have glass condensation plates and moisture in the hood is minimal.
So what I'd like to know?
Firstly that I'm not a complete moron and it will work
Secondly if there's anything I've missed.
Thirdly what do I need in the way of wiring, is regular 2/3core stuff OK or do I need anything special.
And I'd really like to know if anyone's done this before, and actually pictures of the wiring would be brilliant as I'd know exactly what to do.
Cheers
Darren
