Got My Free Aquacube...

[jcosgrove]

Any recommendations for lighting for this?

Still awaiting the arrival of mine, but I plan to buy another clip on light, probably T5.

What are the plans for yours?

Did they give you any idea of how the rest of the deliveries are going?

I'm undecided as of yet, I have seen this might look at putting that on as well, should give about 3wpg.

That light is ok, but at only 11w its not very strong, especially if its going to be a 'planted' tank. I missed the boat on this offer, but had I got one I'd probably bodge together some sort of light using a power compact tube, something like an 24w or even 36w, with a reflector (bit like George did over his nano). Nice and strong. About the same price as the Arcadia system too (probably get it cheaper on eBay), although granted it would look a lot less 'sleek' than the Arcadia.

11w might be ok for slow and steady growth. Adding Flourish Excel may be an idea instead of CO2.

Richard from Aqua Essentials has a nice 12" cube running with that lighting.

I'm going to look into getting a new hood for it, as well as a decent tube.
