Hello all,
I have just planted up a tank which has mainly crypts but with some trident and fern filling out at the back, however I'm short on lighting with my last cheap Nicrew Led throwing in the towel.
As this tank is mainly occupied by crypts, wendtii brown, undulata, lutea hobbit and some wilisi, I am unsure just which to go for. Crypts as we know are heavy root feeders, and fern can thrive fairly easily in low light conditions, so this prompts me to think low tech lighting, can anyone suggest a particular brand/model? The tank is an opti white 60 x 30 cm and I don't have room for any over head suspended stand, so it will need to be end to end hang on bracket. Fert and easy carbo will be dosed as soon as I confirm all plants like liquid carbon. Budget is a factor, so I can't indulge on this one unfortunately.
Thanks in advance for advice.
Best,
Allan.
