Looking to do the same, Sammy. Don't think LED are the smartest way to go. If you look at cost and performance...and you want depth of light (mine is going to be 72x30x27)   This is only from what I've been told - I am in the same position as you, and I want enough quality light for the plants...

Hi   I am looking to buy the above tank and wondered what amount of lighting I will need, and any recommended LED products. Possibly look to make my own with a kit? Wouldn't know where to start and best options for a 30 inch high tank.   Any advice welcome.   Thanks   Bertie

Thinking the same thing. I recently got my angels and I am transfixed at how different they behave to my other fish. I love my cardinals (nice and mature, all the same nice big size, but one big daddy of cardinal) but only have 6 now in the 240. Have 14 mature rasboras, look striking but no real...

Thanks guys - got a lot of reading to do.   If you had a 600 + litre tank - would you aquascape/plant/co2 it? What would people use such a size tank generally for, or is that a stupid question? Planted and community, or something like cichlid/sand/rocks?    Sump or not, I have a unexpected...

Thanks for the reply, Duck. As for lighting, it will be LEDs. God knows yet how much it will cost for adequate lighting, but that I suppose is another topic!   say 1 x FX6 will be £220 or more, 2 x 406's will be £280 (rough prices and fluval as an example)   That is over and above the cost of...

Hi everyone....first post and happy to be here.   I'm looking to buy a new 60 x 24 x 24 or possibly 72 x 24 x 24 (inches) tank for my six angels, but i also have 3 year + mature 14 x rasbora, bristlenose, 6 x cardinals and a couple of cherry barbs that will go in from my current 240 litre tank...
