Hi there,
My boyfriend is looking at upgrading his lights on his Fluval Roma 125l ... it currently has the standard 2 x 20Watts T8 bulbs with reflectors.
He wants to start growing carpet plants (glosso, HC etc), and just be able to grow more of a veriety of plants in general really as he's limited with the current lighting he has
Could someone please recommend what sort of lighting he could go for, I know T5 is the better option so have been looking at a few "over tank" options but there's too much to choose from ... and a bit confusing really how much wattage would he need to be sufficient to grow carpet plants mentioned above and others?
He wants a complete unit,no DIY as neither of us have a clue when it comes to electrics haha.
Any links to what would be suitable would be most appreciated
Tank is 80cm long if I remember right
The strikethrough part ... if anyone knows of a site with clear instuctions he's willing to give it a go
2nd Edit Would the Juwel high lite unit for the 125l Rio fit his tank? and would that be suitable for his needs? It is 2 x 28Watts T5
3rd Edit although no replies would this be any good?
