Hi, I've been doing a bit of research looking for a light for my new tank and I'm at a complete loss. I think the huge amount of options and my severe number dyslexia is sending my head west and I'm really struggling.

Can anyone suggest a suitable light for my new aquarium. I will be using fluval black as the substrate and I'm hoping to achieve some nice plant growth for low/medium plants. I wont be adding co2 but I am open to using fertilisers.

My budget is around £100-£250 for lighting. I know that might be low so if I'm not able to achieve what I want with this budget I'm open to wait whilst I save some money. The light will need to be able to go inside the hood as I have 3 cats.

Thanks in advance

Big tank with a limited budget, low tech Some T5 tubes would be a good option IMO
