Hi all,
I've nearly completed my Juwel Rio 240 for a fish move, last bit of the puzzle is the lighting. The lighting unit still works after 4 years in a shed...result! but i had a few questions.
Thanks!

I've nearly completed my Juwel Rio 240 for a fish move, last bit of the puzzle is the lighting. The lighting unit still works after 4 years in a shed...result! but i had a few questions.
- What lighting does everyone prefer for a planted amazon tank (low light)? I usually go for Hagen aquaglo and sunglo, but i'm open for suggestions.
- I'm tempted to get a 3rd bulb, so that I can have a blue light on a timer, If you had 3 bulbs which types would you use?
- Do I have to get T8 38W bulbs for this light unit, or are there different types these days that would work with it (been a few years since I last had this tank setup!) - still looking for low light setup for maintenance.
- I read on the internet that its best to replace the endcaps everyyear, do people do this?
- Is the 240 front and rear flap the same? I can see on ebay someone selling them seperately? I lost one of mine, but seem to recall them being identical.
- Does anyone know where i can buy the end piece of the light unit, its about an inch wide and is what keeps it on the lip of the tank (i lost one end and cant see it on ebay).
Thanks!
