It will be low tech - no ferts or CO2 and mainly mosses, buces, anubias, java fern etc.
Thank You
Thank You
my fav options are spot/flood lights.Look at your budget and then research a bit.
So many options for low tech.

What do you mean by spotlights? Got any links or anything? I saw a few but they seemed very expensive for something that would cover a small area of the tank.
Either way, 20 watts will be too intense, the ones above are 20 watts and they gave me high light, 10 watts will be plenty for low-energy.Thanks, the Onforu 4 pack of 20W looks pretty good for me.
What strength floods you think I need for my tank? D52cm x W 68 x H 77cmIf you buy a LED light, it's best to buy one with a dimmer, especially if you don't have the option of attaching it to the ceiling and varying the height of the light.
Over the tank light hanging kits are available but cost a few quid so that might not be an option either; have a look on eBay, you never know.
My DIY floodlight luminaire below cost about £75.00 to make. Light spill can be a problem and the light can appear a bit stark at first but it should work well. I made it just for the heck of it, when there weren't too many other options available. Now there is plenty of choice so you might be better off with a dedicated LED light.
