Would These Lights Be Better For My Plants (& Fish)

[Dan-CR4]

I was recommended to change my lights as the ones that were recommended to me would be better for the plants and also show the fish colours better. I am willing to change them but would like some second opinions before I spend nearly £30

The lights I got at the moment are : 1x Juwel Warm-Lite T8 25 Watt & 1x Juwel T8 Day 25 Watt

The lights that were recommended are : 1x Arcadia Freshwater Lamp T8 25W & 1x Arcadia Original Tropical Lamp T8 25W

Also do you think they will fit my light unit, I have a juwel vision 180 with the juewel light unit thats comes with it. The tubes I got at the moment are advertised at being 742mm in length and the ones recommended are 30 inches in length. online converter says that 742mm is 29.2125984 inches.

any help is appreciated before I spend more money on my aquarium and upset the wife I dont mind getting that look for spending more money on my fish, but spending and them not fitting or making any difference would make that look I get, a whole lot worse.

£30 seems a lot to spend. I know this example is for T5's but it might be worth looking at what other T8 options are available -

The Planted Tank - Lighting

The inches / mm will be close enough.
