Hi all. I'm in the process of giving plants another go, and I have a Juwel Vision 180 with T8 lights.
I'm still deciding whether it's worth upgrading to LED's as some are a stupidly high price, and those that are reasonable (but still about £150 only seem to give about a 3 year warranty and if it broke 3 years and 1 month, it would have averaged me about £50 + per year, far outstripping any electricity saving.
And I've been looking at several options.
One thing I like the look of are the lights mounted above the tank, with, I presume, the hood removed.
I mentioned it to my darling wife and was not expecting the reaction I got
She's under the impression (possibly correctly, hence this thread) that no hood will mean a lot of noise and it smelling like my LFS and the room smelling damp and musty?
Comments please
Thanks
