Hi,
As my title says, I am looking for a new light for my tank. My current light is a 4x36 PC from Natural Aquario.
The problem is that the length of the light is too short ! I don't have a full coverage and plants on the edge left and right are suffering a bit ! Mostly on the left because there is a tall piece of wood blocking a bit the light. But even before adding the wood the two sides was not really covered by light.
So I would like to purchase a new light that covers all the tank, if I want to make that move it is in prevision of future scares where there will be more hardscape, or even to correct the light problem when a huge central plant can shade the sides plants !!
I have been thinking of T5 because it is cheap and easy.
LED is an option but I am sure I will still suffer problems of light coverage because they will be short in length also, and they are very pricey.
T5 :
ATI Sunpower 4x39 w dimmable
LED :
2Aqualighter Rampe LED V2 7000K 90 cm
or
LED RAZOR 160W/ 8000 Kelvin
Can I have some advices to choose a good light solution for my tank please ? Knowing that I need full coverage.
Regards
