Hello! I'm in desperate need of help with lighting my new tank.
I am setting up a new FW tank in the new house after a handful of years foray into saltwater coral reef tanks.
It will be 140x70x60 LxWxH or roughly 55x28x24 inches.
I want to have lighting that can provide a fully planted tank.
I also want no lights covering the tank as it will be open top with drift wood sticking up so preferable ceiling mounted pendant style or similar.
My first thought was to use one of my old Metal Halide Geisemann Nova II and buy a FW bulb, but i really have come to love the control ability of LED fixtures that i used on my salt water tanks.
Lighting today is such a jungle to navigate and i feel a tad lost.
Anyone has any good suggestions for me?
And please excuse my English, i'm Swedish.
