Hi there!
I've come to delve into the wealth of knowledge on this forum, once again, to see if there are cheap lighting solutions for my new nano tank!
It is a 40x20x20cm 17l tank, and I am wanting it to be a pure HC tank.
This is one of my options at the moment http://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/a...small-aquarium-sump-refugum-lighting-24w.html
Will this be sufficient light to grow HC and everything else? I ask this because I read somewhere before that it is important to have a higher wattage per bulb in the tank alongside the total wattage. So 3x8w bulbs are less efficient than 1x24w bulb. If this is the case what are the alternatives?
Unfortunately money is exceptionally tight at the moment being a student and all so I am looking for a fairly cheap solution.
Any advice would be really appreciated
