Ok first of all hello everybody im new to this forum / planted aquariums so please forgive if i sound thick.
I have been reading alot online over this past week on the lighting side of things and seem to be getting myself more and more confused the more i read, So i thought i would just ask you guys as to what you think/ you would do.
the tank is a juwel 240 and has a t5 light unit and 2 high light juwel nature tubes with reflectors @ 54 watts each tube.
these tubes are over a year old and would need to be replaced right?
On the juwel website they recommend that you combine the nature tube with the day tube, is this a better option then 2 nature tubes?
Is just having 2 54 watt tubes [108 watts in total] ok for a tank this size?
The tank itself is not up and running yet because i what to get the lighting right first then i can look at possiably setting up a co2 kit.
Thank for your time mr dude
