Juwel Lighting

[grass569]

Hi all i have a juwel rio 180 planted tank and as some of you may know the lights on these arent much good i have already changed the tubes and this made loads of difference but now i think its time to upgrade BUT the wife wont let me spend anymore money on the tank so ive got to do it on the cheap
Ive looked at a few options ie T5 compacts or adding extra T8s anybody got any ideas? Also what WPG would they be after upgrade and what would be the highest WPG you would recomend without adding Co2

Ive also put this in the planted section so sorry if you read it twice

Thanks in advance

I've put an extra T8 into my Rio. Bought an Arcadia waterproof set, and glued the tube fittings onto the inside front of the tank.

If you can get one at the right price, it is possible to fit another juwel twin tube light unit; though this would mean hacking the flaps about, but, then you would have 120w of light.
