Abit long winded this one guys Getting in a pickle at the mo. I have a fluval roma 240 at the moment, but looking on tropicas site and I liked aquascape 82 which is done in a juwel rio 180 with 4×45w t5's with the following plants.
Limnophila hippuridoides, Ludwigia sp. Eleocharis sp. Hydrocotyle tripartita, Hygrophila pinnatifida, Anubias barteri 'Petite', Echinodorus tenellus. But as in a previous post I put on here about using 4 t5s I get the response of ALGAE ALAGE ALAGE using that much light. But speaking to Dan Crawford who did the scape and a guy on here who maintains the tank they say to get the proper colours out of these plants you need the 4. So I post about modifying the rio 180 light canopy but the response I get for that is not to bother as it wont work with that canopy. Then I seen about you can adapt the fluval roma light hood to house t5s. So I looked this up which only adds a t5 to each t8 not the 4 t5s I want, but is it possible to add 4 t5s to the roma light hood.
