Hi guys,
I was hoping I could get some advice on how much light I will need for my tank. I am planning to have a low tech set up with all plants requiring low/medium light. The tank is 90x40x45 (LxWxH).
In the past when setting up aquariums I have read about the watt per litre rule but I have also read a lot about how this is not a accurate way to calculate the light required. Also, which type of light would be better (long term) LED or T5. I usually prefer LED unit for the wattage and general look that can be achieved.
Sorry if these are silly questions but I do not want to set myself up to fail with this tank!
