I'm just about to order a new plain glass tank from Aquariums UK and think I have decided on a luminaire for lighting. The tank is 24 x 18 x 18 ins and looking at the lights, the T8 is 600mm and the T5 650mm.
I was wondering if someone could help me out on this, will the T8 be sufficient or if I go for a T5 will it fit? Up to now I've only a basic gardener, just the usual Vallis, Crypts and Anubias and Java Fern with no CO2 as it confuses me, so just Flourish Excel daily and a plant food at water changes. But I was thinking that I might be able to try some new plants if I had better than the standard lighting
