Hi all,
I'm looking at lighting options at the moment for my 200l aquaoak (99.5 (W) x 40 (D) x 50 (H) cm) and am thinking about picking up a second hand Twinstar 900S. I have a couple of questions:
1. Is a 900S overkill for a no co2 system? I'm probably looking at running co2 at a later date.
2. Is the 900 the right size for the tank? Is a 900S overkill for a no co2 system? I'm probably looking at running co2 at a later date.
3. How high are they and can the legs be removed on all models? I cant find this measurement on their site and I only have 3" to play with under the hood (I'm also worried about it getting too hot under there) Anyone else have one running under a hood? Does it stay cool enough?
I am also considering the Fluval plant 3.0, but I think I would only end up upgrading this in the future. Although if I see one at reasonable price I might be tempted if you all think it will do the job?
Plant/scape wise, I'm looking at something like these, but figure I might have to swap out some of the plants initially until I move to co2:
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Maia
