Hello chaps, I've recently bought a 30cm optiwhite aquarium and am struggling to find an answer on lighting. I've been looking at the Chihiros A Series which looks a good un, but as it's from China I worry about the amount of time delivery would take and I'm excited to crack on, but if it's worth it I'll give it a go. Also I've heard it can run quite hot? Is this a problem beyond touching it? Could be handy as a room heater in winter. I've also looked into floodlights and I'm not too sure if the plants would look too washed out with one? I'm not overly fussy just as long as it doesn't make things washed out, and makes plants look at least half decent. My budget is up to £50 and I'd like to grow dwarf hairgrass and various stems if that makes a difference, high tech of course. Anyone have any suggestions? Twinstar would be the dream, but maybe in another life! Cheers guys
