Help With Lighting Please

[seffieuk]

PrincessCoral's trop tank lighting unit gave out over Christmas - its a juwel rio 180.

Any thoughts on replacement lighting please? I have even thought of replacing with two marine aquabeams, can get them for about £100.

Tanks is a low tech, planted, with light fish stocking

will it be ok and how do you attach the tubes, will i be able to easily attach them to either the existing juwel unit or the flaps?

A fixture like that should work fine but affixing the lamp will require some form of clip and naturally you will need something to act as the reflector.
Have you check out the thread pinned at the top on how to fix a jewel fixture. It may have just the answer you are looking for.
