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 :lol: 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 :good:

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 :rolleyes: 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 :unsure: would this be any good?
