light

hi! so I just had a question, people have told me that I can turn the lights off in my tanks no problem, but every time I do they actually stress out massively and some try and jump out but as soon as it's on again they are perfect the longest I've gone with no light was only 20 minutes because...

I have one 18" fluorescent bulb on the tank right now. I would like my tank to have moderate lighting. I am thinking of either buying a dual fluorescent fixture or a LED fixture. Which would be the better choice? The tank is a 20 tall, so the lights would be about 17" from the substrate.   For...

Hello!   I recently bought a light for a tank that doesn't have and will never have plants, and realized that I have no idea if I should be determining my lighting patterns based on something.   I have 3 very large apple snails in the tank so all plant matter is food by default and gone within a...

Hi everyone,   Just a quick question, I was wondering how suitable LED strip lights would be at supporting plant growth? I have two T8 tubes and want to boost the lighting so I can grow some more demanding plants, I also plan on adding CO2. Another benefit of these lights is they are dimmable...

I bought a 4ft tank second hand and basically the hood is crap and made out of some cheep aluminium. The bracket to hold the light tube in place just doesn't and as there is only one bulb I find it doesn't illuminate the tank properly. I want to make one out of wood/Mdf but can't decide which...

I bought a Kessil A150W from my LFS a few weeks ago, and now it won't turn on. I've tried all the obvious things and it won't work.   I'm going to take it back to my LFS and see what they can do for me.   Thing is I forgot to keep my receipt *facepalm* I am hoping since they know me well there...

Hello,   I have just purchased and collected a used Juwel Rio 180 Tank from ebay.   Great condition, it just needs a VERY good clean.   The only thing wrong with it, I'm told, is that the lights do not work and I require replacement bulbs.   I'm just not sure which ones ones.   I've taken one of...
