    Chihiros light for nano tank

    Hey there! I wanted to ask if anybody here has used one of the chihiros C line lights. Like the C301, C361. They are quite cheap where I live and I don't have a big budget. If someone has used one of these, are they any good? I'm planning to add red plants to this tank as well.

    How Important is Accurately Recreating Environmental Lighting

    I've had two community tanks with tetras, gouramis and catfish for almost a year now, and there really isn't any indication that there's a problem, but try as I might I can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong when it comes to lighting. So just for my peace of mind, here's a timeline...

    So obviously you want to leave the lights on for 10-12 hours a day on your fish tank and no more, but I haven't seen any general consensus on the difference in light levels between the day/night cycle and I'd love to hear everybody's opinions.
