hello guys!
finally i took the decision to go for smaller tank 3ftL x 18''W x 20''H because i need the space and i can't live without a tank lol!i still have the 5feet if someone is interested though!
so now i already ordered the 3ft but i am trying to decide if i want to go with led or t5 lights.
on the big one i used to have t5 from iaquatics and i am very happy so far , but now i was thinking maybe to give a try with LED. the problem is that i am really bad on led!

the first link it is with tubes that i used to have(but the bigger one) with nice results
now on the second link just seen one from ebay which is very cheap i made me to worry a bit and i want you to tell me if you know that unit and if not which one you would recommend?

also i am thinking this time to make a DIY hanging system for better looking but nothing is for sure. otherwise back to traditional nice looking, as well, hood!
that's means that the light will go a bit higher than a hood!if my tank is 20'' high, minus 2-3'' from substrate it will make it 17''-18'' high! my budget is not very high unfortunately.i don't have something specific in my mind but i am trying to keep it as cheap a possible!
the pants that i have they are some:
wisteria , mosses , vallis , java fern , anubias some sesiflora but also
i have some micranthemoides, dwarf hairgrass , staurogyne repens and some left overs from monte carlo from the past and i am hopping to save it!
and some floating plants :red root floater , salvinia minima , salvinia cucullata (possible) and frogbits
i will run the tank with CO2 as well !
please any advice would be perfect thank you so much my people
ps.the aquatics website it has an offer 10% off ,which expires tonight!
