Hi All,
Got a bit of an odd problem...my tank is quite an odd size...24" x 8" x 8". Its my first ever tank and has proved quite a challenge. My main problem (I think) is too much light. I wanted the best lighting etc so opted for T5..the lowest wattage I could find is 24W. As my tank is so shallow I think the light levels are too high for my fish who continually hide in their bogwood cave (green neons). I placed sheets of paper over the tank to test this....as soon as the light levels lowered out came my fish!
Does anyone know of the easiest way to reduce the light levels without changing the spectrum...the only thing I can think of is to get a sheet of neutral density filter and lay this over the tank...any thought on this...or even does anyone know if this is the lowest wattage T5 tube for a 24" long tank.
Many Thanks, Sam
