HI THIS IS MY FIRST POST SO PLEASE BE GENTLE.
I HAVE A AQUA ONE NANO 40 WHICH I'M GOING TO USE AS A PLANTED TANK,IT CAME WITH NO LIGHT BUT HAVE THE CHANCE TO GET OF A WELL KNOWN AUCTION SITE EITHER 2 X 11W DENNERLE LIGHTS OR A T5 LIGHT UNIT(3X8W) BUT WHAT WOULD BE BEST?
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KEEP SHRIMPS IN IT NOT SURE WHICH ONE'S.
THE TANK AT THE MOMENT IS EMPTY.
 
Hi hillthx.

If you could avoid writing all in capital letters that would be good, it makes it very hard to read.

As for the light units, I suspect either option will be fine. Links to the respective units might help people give more specific advice. If the the 3x8w unit allows you to switch bulbs on and off separately then I might be tempted by that one for a bit more control.
 
Many thanks for all the replies.The dennerle's will be second hand with new bulbs may get them cheap,The other is fitted with uk plug but would have the choice to change bulbs and and its fitted with two switches.
 
Hi i use the nano blue light and two dennerle lights on my nano
Blue nano on for 5 hours from 7 am then on again from 7 pm
Dennerle lights on at 11:30 am to 8 pm

Hope this helps
