Lighting Help

[danh91]

Back again with more questions for you salt gurus.

Having got my Pico reef up and running and finally stable with 3kg of LR and a cleaner shrimp im happy with that, but from my freshwater days i have a juwel rekord 60 i want to convert to salt.

Now as with most juwel units ive ever seen the standard lighting isnt the great at the best of the time.

Id imagine id only ever run with soft corals.

But for the life of me i cant find a light unit suitable. The tank is 2ft long, 1ft wide. I can make a new hood for it to accommodate the lighting unit if need be.

I have seen jameshughes1989 has the same tank and is running a Eco-Lamp Kr-91 but i cant find any for sale

Also slightly off topic, was or are you involved in RC Cars Ben?
