I think it just needs another one arcadia 18w light not sure on bulbs though I think they do a marine bulb I am sure someone uses these units and can correct me

mine has 4 tubes..2 blue and 2 white. here's a link to a cheap unit my mate is trying on a pico........

some great little light units on the market to fit your tank, even small clip on or canopy halides

That link doesnt work morri?

I cannot find the arcadia 18w light, only find 9w and 11w. Arcadia do not make bulbs for 18w but I believe Interpet do.

Bud, the link says page not responding.

You are going to want a mix of white and blue, whatever you choose now, could be used in the long run on the sump.

Thanks tiger im just going to peruse fleabay for cheap lighting and any reccomendations on a hang on filter or wouldnt i need one(liverock) or do i need a skimmer.Id like the least possible hanging on the tank as it will be on top of my pc desk and dont want to spoil the view

 

[Buddyboy67]

No need of hang on as it will produce nitrates that you dont want..live rock does the job of these filters for us...try copying and pasting link in flea bay..these are dirt cheap !!

HOB is not needed but can be very useful for rowaphos carbon some rubble etc.

Fleabay HOB

can take all the gubbins out add rowaphos and carbon and at 600L a hour will add to circulation
