This actually looks decent:

I am not sure how bright it would be though? Reckon 1 of those would be enough to illuminate a 32inch tank - 45 cm deep.
It doesn't need to grow plants though so not worried about wattage etc.
Yeah Just noticed those brackets - they are ugly!
I think I could try just balancing the lights on the tank edges. my tank is 82cm and the closest size is 85cm so it should work.
I'm sure I could fashion a bracket somehow just to make it secure.
Yeah those arcadia look good. Would I need 1 or 2 strips?
I found a site selling those true lumen ones but unfortunately they don't do a 32inch size (24 then jumps up to 36 inches).
Do you know how you mount those arcadia ones? I would like them to mount just onto the open top tank ideally.
Hi all,
I am not growing plants in my next tank - but I need a decent light for viewing.
Ideally I want something as small & minimalist as possible - so I was thinking an LED strip?
Needs to be about 82cm long.
Does anyone know if those "True Lumen pro" things are for sale as they look...
Arcadia Freshwater OT5 800mm 2 x 24w T5 Overtank Luminaire
Does anyone know if this light will fit a tank thats 810mm long? :/
I dont want to have to buy a 1000mm long luminaire just to fit.
I see George - I get you! I think i misunderstood it really.
So basically - changing the bulbs will increase light & make a visible difference. BUT it wont improve a tank that is already struggling due to a co2/nutrient difficiency.
I saw in PFK this month it had a "top tip" to replace tubes every 12 months to "significantly increase the lighting over your aquarium" page 47... Seems there are still conflicting opinions on the issue of replacing tubes.
