Hi all, i am getting back into the planted tank scene and am getting a 245x50x50cm aquarium with a hood on top. (And no my situation does not allow me to leave the hood off unfortunatly). Going high tech like i was used to with high light and co2 injection and heavy plant load. I have been looking for days now for a good led light (as i only had experience with t5 back in the day) to fit on the aquarium providing me around 40lm/litre but am completely lost/stuck as most fixtures are not waterproof enough for use in an aquarium hood.. chihiros wrgb2…twinstar s series… all fit the budget but seem to be made for open top exclusively... Fluval plant 3.0 seems to be not powerful enough for what i want... anybody have any suggestions or first hand experience with high end led lights that would fit and survive life in an aquarium hood? I did find a german company ledaquaristik.de who have the AquaLumix and pro 2 lineup that seem very high power, but i can't really find a lot of info on people having used it in a serious aquascape? Thanks alot for anyone out there taking the time to give advice or point towards a light to look at as this has been stressing me out for days now!
