Hi everyone,
I've just brought myself a used Interpet Fish Box 48 (approx. 45x36x34cm) for the princely sum of £5. It's actually in very good condition - with the exception of the light unit which is completely shot.
Anyway, my plan for the tank is to set it up as a very low tech but fairly heavily planted planted tank. At the moment I'm trying to find a good replacement light fitting but have become very confused with what's on offer - I'm trying to keep the setup cost as low as possible as well, so have been looking at LED lights by Novatouch and the-aqua-man on eBay. The tank won't be exposed to a huge amount of natutal light where it's going to be setup. Does anyone have any recommendations that would fit into the slightly awkwardly shaped hood? I was planning on keeping the lid as my cats wouldn't think twice about going fishing.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of other basic questions along the way but at the moment, every time I feel I've understood something I read another article that just confuses me more!
Thanks in advance,
Nick
