How To Fit Light Tubes

[fiskkeeperpro]

I am soon to be getting the juwel rio 125, it currently has 2x28watt 590mm t5 tubes (nature and daylight)

these tubes will give me 1.9WPG (using uk gallons). How do i add more tubes into this hood. I can add a juwel 15watt daylight tubes from my old rekord 60 but how do i do it?

Thanks
Will

I make it 1.7WPG (56W over a 33USG)

If the Juwel doesn't have proper T5 reflectors (polished aluminium not the white plastic inserts) then get some from here:

I would buy the Arcadia ones and make sure you getT5 and not T8/10 as they will be angles specifically for the tube diameter.

You wont need anymore lighting. 1.7WPG will give you much more light in the tank than 1.7WPG on the old T12 scale. The are much more efficient and intense.
