Hi,
I need to replace the old T5 tubes on my Juwel Vision 450. The current tubes are 2 x 54W with reflectors. I would like to get peoples opinion on what type of tubes I should buy to help with plant growth/health but still make the fish look good. I would class this as a fish system with a lot of plants and not a true aquascape.
Info about the system to help is as follows:
Juwel Vision 450 with high fish stock
lighting is the std 2x HO T5 with reflectors
Filter is an Fx5
No CO2 addition at present
No ferts appart from JBL 7 + 13 root balls
Substrate is fine sand
plants are various crypts, vallis, anubias, apongeton and weeping moss
I am starting to read up about ferts and CO2 so I may start using these in some form soon so expect more rookie questions in other topics soon.
