Lighting On My Tank

[crago1990]

Few days i re did my tank and added dirt to my tank to help plant growth. Im now thinking about upgrading my lights aswell. Not sure what light system i have on my tank at the mo but its the sanderd one that came with my tank. The tank is only 95L anyone have any light systems in mind that aint too expensive in mind? I havent got a clue when it comes to lighting so some help will be great! Thank you

Probably shouldnt do this, but;

If you are any good with building stuff, there is a T5 Hagen Glo lighting ballast unit for 2x 39W going for £22 delivered in the Classifieds (I wont say who as im not promoting, but its there)

I bought the T8 kit off the same guy to run 2x 30w, and its bloody brilliant. Perhaps this is an avenue you could go down.

Im more than happy to post pics of my hood build if needed to help?
